Larry committed to help Kent pour concrete at 6am this morning, so Wayne and I skipped going to the track and ran the Lindon loop instead. I was up early so I ran 1.3 easy miles before meeting up with Wayne. I felt fine during the 1.3 miles and the first mile with Wayne, but then I started feeling some tightness and a little pain on the backside of my right knee. My legs have been a little tired from the long run up Timp on Saturday, but generally they've been feeling really good lately. I'm not sure what triggered this pain today. I didn't run hard yesterday, and we weren't pushing the pace very hard this morning. In addition to my quads being a little sore from Saturday, I also felt a little tightness in my right calf. Maybe running the steep Eagles View hill yesterday stressed the already fatigued calf causing it to tighten up into my knee. I may have also bumped my mileage up too quickly over the past couple of weeks. I think I'm going to have to back off a little until I can figure out what's up with this pain I felt this morning. Bummer! I was feeling so good about how my running was going. At least I still have some time before St. George. |
