Skipped my weekend run, mostly because of concern about my knees, but I felt pretty good running this morning in spite of an occasional pain here and there.

Ran 7.31 miles in 1:01:46 for an average pace of 8:28/mile.  I'll run again on Wednesday as long as my pain doesn't come back.

Had a very good run this morning, probably because of my long rest.  Also used flat shoes, gloves and, long sleeves in the crisp cool 38 degree air.  Ran 4 miles in 32:50 for an average pace of 8:12/mile with the fastest mile at 7:49.

My main problem is the milage.  I've been running less, not more.
