Four miles along the trail in 29:50 (7:27/mile).  The first two were about 7:40 pace and the last two were around 7:20.  It felt good.

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.

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.
