Worked until 11 last night, so I slept in (woke in time to watch Usain Bolt trounce everyone) and ran this evening. I thought by evening the clouds would have blown away, but no, it was October out there. I got caught in a little wind and rain storm, not a soaker but enough to get me wet. It really did feel like fall, even some leaves have changed color. Anyway, the Illahee State Park run. My knee was bothering me at work and on the bicycle ride home, so I went out easy hoping it would loosen up. I was able to stride normally without pain, but I felt it very slightly the whole time. The pain never totally disappeared like Tuesday, though when I stretch my legs on the downhills the muscles feel more normal. Icing now. Other than that the run was nice, easy pace for the first half then picked it up a bit when the weather hit (plus there's more downhill on the way home). 46:27.
