| Went into Orthopaedics this morning to get my knee checked out due to some discomfort I was feeling the past few weeks. X-rays came back negative but I'm still a little concerned whenever I experience some type of new pain. Moving forward with caution.

Not easy today. Indoor run at LTF Romeoville. 7 miles. A little difficult this morning, did not feel a good rhythm mechanically. Breathing was also a tougher. I met up with my fellow comrade Karl for our usual routine. 90 min. of upper body weights/core training.

Indoor run at Esplanade Fitness; 6:30 AM. First time running in molded insoles I went out and got yesterday.
Original goal today was to do 8 miles but I was experiencing discomfort in my left knee that would not go away this time so I cut it short at 5 miles and decided to swim in the pool for about 25 minutes.
60 min. of Physical Therapy after work at Hinsdale Orthopaedics

| The left knee was still a little sore from yesterday so I decided to ease into the run by stretching and doing some of my core workouts prior to the run. Maintained a slower pace to concentrate on the mechanics, i.e. the foot strike. I'm now thinking the probable cause of my knee pain is my left foot turning a little more inward on the pickup. Felt a tweak in the knee in the middle of the run but was able to run through and finish at my normal pace. |

Indoor run on Treadmill at Esplanade Fitness, 6:30 AM - Felt good this morning. It might be a combination of a day of rest, the physical therapy from yesterday or the new insoles but my breathing was good. The legs were a little more responsive so I ran a little faster, focusing on the mechanics, keeping the left knee aligned during the foot strike. Go go go.... Lunchtime: 25 min. swim.
