Pre-dawn run in Orlando, this time my body was acclimated to the time zone and I could wake up. I had invited a guy from my company the night before to join (he mentioned he was an 800 man in college, so I couldn't resist), but he was at the bar at the time and I wasn't certain he'd show. He did, and we headed out in the dark down that concrete hallway of corporate America. At 18 minutes or so we turned around, and he stopped for a bathroom break. I finished up, with a little detour to add some time, then did 5x100 striders on the other side of the hotel. Actually a great road for striders: flat, straight, and zero traffic. Knee was more or less fine, maybe 97 percent. So I might be out of the woods, or it just likes heat. Another muggy morning, but running before the sun comes up helped. Good to get two runs in down there.
The run was followed by 20 hours of meetings/fast food/airport terminals/airplane rides. I'm really, really glad I got out of bed and did it. Annnd, the guy I ran with just might become the new VP at our company, which I had no idea about at the time, so maybe I accidentally made a friend in the right place. 45:00 supernova glide -- 24
