Ran with the BBK's this morning. Ran the SJ 5K route 3x. The warm-up was a slightly shortened version. I struggled a bit with the warm-up as my right knee was killing me. The second 5K was much better. I ran it with Dean- chasing Cheris and Michelle. I really enjoy running with him- he pushes me. I think he said we finished it in 22 minutes or so. The third 5K I ran with Nancy. It was great getting to know her a little. I am truly impressed with this group. The ability level is phenomenal and everyone is so friendly. I think we finished this one in about 23 minutes. I keep debating as to whether I should invest in a watch- I'm always relying on someone else to tell me my times, although, I kind of like going by exertion level rather than splits (is that what you call them?) I was amazed at how much better my knee felt when I was running at a faster pace. I have been struggling with it for the past 3 or 4 weeks. This week I have noticed that when I run slow it hurts but when I pick up the pace it doesn't. This doesn't make sense to me but when does life make sense? Oh well- another great day of running. I love the rain! |
