| I was excited to get to the gym after last nights run. I decided my knee could use another good week of cross training, so I got on the stair machine again. 40 minutes alternating running for 2 minutes/ walking for 2 minutes. That was way harder than my run last night. When I finished I felt like I might pass out. I really pushed hard today, but if it is keeping me in running shape, I'll keep doing it.

Been sick for the last few days. Starting to feel better, but probably won't be doing any intense exercise any time soon. Good thing I wasn't planning on running Boston hard since I've only run 132 miles this year and most of those were in the beginning of Jan.

| I did it! 5 easy miles without any knee pain. I felt horrible the whole time. I guess I'm still not completely better from being sick, but at least my knee didn't bother me. | |

| I actually had about 40 minutes for lunch so I went to the gym, hopped on the TM 2% incline and ran 3 miles at 8:00. Felt really easy and no knee pain! | |

| 20 minutes stair speed intervals- 2 min walk/ 2 min run 5 minutes cool down on stationary bike 2 miles TM 2% incline at 8:00 pace Core work My knee did not bother me while doing stairs. It felt a little off while cycling and running though... not painful, just something there that isn't quite right.

| I strapped on an old knee brace that I hadn't used for many years and headed out an 8 miler. I haven't run that far for a while. Things went really well the first few miles with no pain, then I started to get an achey feeling, but not painful and it would come and go. I finished the 8 miles with a 7:53 pace. I've got a lot of work to do in 1 month (from today) to be able to finish Boston. |

| What a beautiful day for a run. It rained hard this morning and then after the rain I went running and the air wash fresh and cool. It was great. And even better, my knee didn't bother me today. It was the best it has felt since mid January! 6 miles AP 7:36 I was definitely working harder than I should have been to be running that pace, but it was fun to run without pain.

| 20 minutes stair speed intervals- 2 minutes walking/ 3 minutes running That is the first time I've done 3 minutes on the run interval. Boy was that a lung burning, heart exploding, leg leadening last minute of each interval. 10 minutes elliptical to get my heart rate back under control. 2 miles TM 2% incline @ 8:00 Core work That has to be the best workout I've had in a few months. It sure feels good to be done with it.

| One hour elliptical. I decided to save my run for tomorrow to give my knee an extra day of recovery before a longer run. My knee has felt really strong the last 2 days!!!!!

| I had a rare Saturday morning that I didn't have to work and had no family or church commitments, so I decided to go run with the local running club. A couple of the faster guys where there so I decided to run with them. After explaining that I've been injured for a while and have not done much running since January they asked me how far I was running today. I said, "how ever far you guys are running." I was anticipating about 10, they said 13. I said OK. Lets do it. Ended up running 13.6 with AP 7:54 It was fun to run with Jim and Jeff and to push myself a bit harder than I have in a long time. My knee felt really good until the very end when it started tightening up a bit, but nothing too bad. I'm going to be sore tomorrow since I haven't run that far since that 33 miler on Jan 1. | |

| 8 miles that I logged as easy miles, but it felt more like a long tempo run effort. The best part is my knee felt 100% today, not even a little nagging ache in there!!!!! Yay! 8 miles AP 7:24 | |
