Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

2 Miles Easy followed by 6 Mile Tempo Run on treadmill: 

3 Miles at 7:13 and 3 Miles at 6:40. 

1 Mile recovery jog for 8 Miles Total, a modest victory and a good effort given the lingering pain in my right knee. 

I tried out an "Ace" knee brace for the first time today, and I think it helped.  Perhaps it was a placebo effect, perhaps it actually helped me physically.  At this point, I am less concerned about fully grasping the mechanical or psychological benefits of wearing the knee brace.  I just need it to contribute to the successful completion of critical training runs, as it did today. 

Just want to run...

Are you by chance related to the Hunt's of Enterprise, Utah? Happy running.

Not to my knowledge...most of my folks are Arkansas natives.
