September is here and it is not hot any more. In fact, I kind of wished I had had gloves this morning in the nippy 52 degrees. The weather is the most interesting part of this report because I didn't feel like going fast today and I didn't want to push it. I've been limping around due to Saturday's knee injury and I think it is changing my stride (for the worse) when I run. Since I'm officially in my "taper", there is no reason to push it. Training is over. I just need to be careful not to get further injured and not to lose fitness. Oh, yes 7.78 miles took me 1:13:23, which is 9:26/mi with an average heart rate of 138bpm.
