Weather - 37 degrees, clear. It was mild this afternoon, the sun felt good. I ran to the arboretum and did 4 sets of strength exercises. My legs are feeling very fresh from the low mileage this week, and my energy is way up. I felt like running fast today, and allowed myself to run hard for the final 600m. My knee is feeling better, the post run stiffness is not appearing like it was last week, so that is good news. If I can borrow my wife's wheels tomorrow I will head to Lake Mingo and run the Siberian. I have not run a short race since mid-September, so I am feeling excited about just getting out on the trails and mixing it up with other runners. The weather is supposed to be in the low 40's, so it should make the race pleasant, although probably quite muddy. #413
