Last night I went to bed before 10pm to get good quality sleep, but it didn't happen. Our son woke up screaming at midnight with a nightmare. Then at 2am in the morning I heard a pounding noise downstairs almost like a car throwing a rod. It was our soft water system trying to recharge put the salt was solid as a rock inside. I couldn't break through it so I put it in an error state to shut it off. Here I'm at 2am in the morning trying to use a golf club to break up the salt inside the machine. Not one of my best moments, but it was the closest thing to me that was sharp enough, and I wasn't about to go outside in my tool shed to get something that late. It's a good thing we rent it or we would have to pay for the problems that we've been having with it lately. I couldn't get to sleep after that and just tossed and turned all night. I got up this morning and decided to run anyway even with the weird night. I ran 11.2 miles at an 6:58 pace in 1:18. The last three miles were downhill so the pace is distorted a bit. Couple miles I did at 6:06, 6:23. I was tired into the run and finally awoke probably around mile 4. I ran a lot of uphill and downhill to get used to that again. Other than that I'm tired here at work and have to go to a meeting at 10:30am. My knee didn't really bother me that bad today. Maybe taking the day-off yesterday and only running 5 miles Sunday helped. I do think if I took two days off it probably would be healed. (Asics Trainers 13 - 33 miles) No running the rest of the day my knee started bothering me some after the run today even though it wasn't bad during the run. To play it safe if I can get one solid run per day that's good.
