20 mile run today.
Ran from chruch (Lockhart) to home. The total distance is 23.5 miles so I walked/jogged the last 3.5 miles. I'm happy to get this run under my belt but a little worried because my kneecap, on my left knee, was hurting after the run. About 12-13 miles into the run it started hurting a little but went away after a few miles then after the run started hurting even more. Today it's not too bad and I'm hoping it goes away with some rest. I'm sure it's just overuse. Anyway, I kept the pace I wanted with a few slow downs and speed up on the hills. I was even able to give a good effort on the last mile (7:18) but as usual, after 20, I wasn't sure I could have made it to 26.2. Even the last 3.5 miles, at a slow pace, were hard. I forgot my HR monitor so I don't have that information.

I took a couple of days off after my 20 mile run on Sunday. My left knee was bothering me. Actually both knees were a little sore but the left one was much worse. (Today the right knee is perfect.)
I don't want to say this but it sorta felt like it did when I had the bone spur break off and floating in my knee. There seemed to be a lot of grinding and popping when I bent my knee. In some positions there is no pain at all and walking does not seem to bother it. Over the last two days it seems to be getting better. I'm hoping it's not a bone spur and I can be back to full speed soon and not have much of a setback.
Today I decided to go to the gym and do some cross-training and see how my knee would feel. I first rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes (6.35 miles). I'm out of shape for riding :-( Then I ran on the elipitical machine for 20 minutes (2.5 miles @ 8:00 pace). I hate that machine! Then, since my knee was feeling good, I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes (2.5 miles @ 8:00 pace). Lastly I lifted weights for 20 minutes (chest, back, sholders). I'm going to be sore from this :-(
During the run my knee didn't really hurt much. There was a slight twinge but it didn't seem to get any worse so I continued to run. After the run the knee felt fine.
Hopefully I will get over this quickly. I'm thinking of doing this same training for a couple more days before I go out on the road and run again.
Philippians 2:9-11
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Gym day again. I'm not really sure how my knee felt since I took three ibuprofen last night. Today I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes (9.75 miles), elliptical hell (as Lily would describe it. I really hate that machine. I'd like to know who the idot was that invented it! Oh...for 30 minutes 3.6 miles and then ran for 30 minutes (4 miles) on the treadmill.
I could actually fee a tweak in my knee for most of the run but it didn't get any worse so I just kept running. There was no pain at all during the other two activities. I guess I'll do this same workout again tomorrow. I really hope this problem goes away before Sunday, I need to get in another long run.
The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Trying another day at the gym in hopes my knee gets better.
9.6 miles on the bike @ 30 min., 4 miles on the elliptical @ 30 min. and 4 miles on the treadmill @ 32 min. (7:30 pace).
I'm still hoping to attempt a long run (20 miles) this weekend. I may just load up on vitamin I and attempt it.
Proverbs 14:12
12 There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.
