Weather - 48 degrees, clear.

A mild day, but still running short distance.

Ran to the arboretum, did 5 sets of strength exercises, then ran .75 miles barefoot on the grass loop. The mud and puddles numbed my feet, and the ground felt harder than in the summer. It was good to run without shoes, though, as it strengthens my feet.

Each day of short running I can feel my body getting stronger, the energy expanding. By the end of the week I should be feeling really fresh.

My knee is feeling better, no stiffness, so I am happy about that.

It sounds like the short miles are really helping with your recovery. That's great news!
