| Three miles along the trail in the early evening. I saw Sasha coming back with a couple of kids running and one or two in the jogging stroller. I felt fine and the knee was fine. Total time was 22:13 (7:24/mile). | | Add Comment |

| Another 3 miles along the trail. I started out with a 7:23 and then 7:16. I was feeling good and wanted to push the pace to test the knee and to beat the 7:10 guy. I finished the last mile in 6:08. It felt good. | | Add Comment |

| Three miles along the trail in 22:00 (7:20/mile). I haven't had any knee trouble for several weeks now. That is a good sign. Now I just need to get back to more consistent training. | | Add Comment |

More miles along the river trail again. There were a lot more people out today with the nicer weather, and I went a little earlier in the afternoon as well. Total time was 26:07 (7:27/mile). The first two were slower at 7:40 pace, but the third was a little faster at 7:09. I was trying to keep up with some bikers. | | Add Comment |

I decided to run in the early morning because I wanted to get the blood pumping for my Physics GRE test at 9:00am. I thought I would never have to take that foul test again, but my previous scores had expired. I needed some new scores so I can apply to Ph.D programs that require it. The run went great. I did 2.5 in 20:20 (8:08/mile). The test was another story. Now I get to wait for my lousy score to show up. I love standardized tests! | | Comments(3) |

| Felt great today. Did 4 miles along the trail in 28:27 (7:07/mile). I needed to get back to the house so my wife could go to a meeting so I pushed the pace a bit. It felt fine though. | | Add Comment |

| A few more miles along the trail. I started at Sasha's house today because Kathleen wanted to visit a woman across the street, and I walked her there. I did about 1.5 warmup and then 4x200m with 200m jog recovery. The first two were in 43s and the last two were in 41s. Not too fast, but I wanted to get the legs moving a little bit. I finished the run in 28:50 (7:12/mile). It felt good and no knee troubles. | | Add Comment |

It was a nice, warm day, and I ran in the early afternoon. I warmed up about 1.5 and then did 8x200m in 42-40s with 100-200m rest in between (depending on if I noticed the marks on the trail or not). It felt good. I then finished the rest of the run and finished with a total time of 27:10 (6:47/mile). I didn't run yesterday because my other knee was hurting a bit. I usually get some aches after helping take down chairs and tables in the gym. I decided to err on the side of caution yesterday, but the knee felt fine today. | | Add Comment |
