I love this weather. I went out for a run by myself at 1:00 in the afternoon and the temperature was perfect. I felt great. I've lost a bit of speed but had no problem finishing 6 miles. My knee felt good with just some minor twinges on the lower medial edge of the joint line. Hopefully I can build my mileage back up without reaggravating the knee.

Ran the same run as yesterday plus a little extra. The run included running from the riverbottom on 12600 up to Lampton View and then over to Parkway Pallisades to the top of the hill, then back down to the river bottom. So a few hills. I managed to maintain an 8:31 AP. I feel pretty good about that since I only ran 24 miles during the whole month of September. My knee felt great although at about mile 4 it had the most disgusting sounds as I ran (crepitus). It didn't hurt, it just sounded awful. It finally quit making noises after about .5 miles.

Had a great run with RAD this morning. I forgot how much I enjoy getting out in the morning for a run. The weather was perfect and the pace was very doable. Just what I needed to get me back into the swing of things. In the past three days I have run about the same mileage as I did the whole month of September. So I guess a 9:17 pace is respectable. Thanks RAD!!!

AP: 9:17 splits: 9:17, 9:35, 9:27, 9:32, 9:12, 9:27, 9:04, 8:55, 9:08, 9:15
