My legs almost felt normal starting out today, but then I could feel it in my knees still after I ran for awhile.  Total time was 30:25 (8:27/mile).

Ran to the church to help shovel the sidewalks, but discovered that someone else had already done it.  I waited around for the other people to show up to tell them that we didn't need to do anything.  Then I continued on my way.  I ran down Reynolds to 22nd, but instead of heading home on Harney I continued around the parking lot loop.  It was a good run.  The legs felt about like they have been for the past few weeks.  Total time was 35:43 (7:56/mile).

It was a good run today.  I got up late and didn't have time for a very long run, but the legs felt better.  Total time was 20:32 (8:12/mile) for 2.5 miles.

I didn't get out for a run today, but I helped someone move from the 3rd floor of one apartment building to the 3rd floor of another building.  It was a pretty good workout.

It was pretty cold with a nasty north wind today, but the legs felt pretty good.  They are starting to adapt.  I think I will increase my mileage a little bit this week.  Total time was 30:09 (7:56/mile).

It was still cold today, but the wind was less.  The legs felt good.  They even felt good enough to do a few strides in the middle of my run.  I wanted to see how they felt and was pleased that it felt good.  Total time was 28:58 (8:03/mile).
