| Ran 2 miles to Busey Woods, then 5 x1 mile loops on the trails - fun! Knee felt 80-85%. Keep on truckin'....

| I ran a 3/4 South Farms loop, the missing part being the jaunt to Busey Woods. At mile 2 my knee felt a bit unsteady, so I stopped, walked for 10 seconds, then continued running. After a few strides the knee recovered and felt strong for the remaining miles. Heavy rain storms blew through with strong wind, and I was reminded of the more difficult winter loops I did last year. Out in the corn fields I was running in 6 inches of water, but unlike the winter, it felt refreshing! I ran strong most of the way, no need for stopping other than the 10 seconds at mile 2. I sprinted the final 300m, just like in the winter, and I stopped the run in front of Jimmy John's. Since I had run on an empty stomach I really wanted a sandwich, but I did not buy one because 12 miles is the minimum distance required to earn one :)
Toward the end of the run I felt a wisp of beautiful emotion which long distance training can impart - weary, yet strong, the body wanting to stop, but the will begging for just a few more steps. I am looking forward to the longer runs of 15-25 miles, hope I can get there soon...

| First time in a while I have been able to run consecutive days, it felt good! No problems with the knee, but some leg fatigue from yesterday's extended miles. Did 3 sets of strength exercises after the run. | | Add Comment |

| With all the rain we have had the past day or two I knew Busey Woods would be a swamp, so I laced up my Teva Racers and was looking forward to some mud running. I ran 2 miles to the woods then did 6 x 1 mile loops. Most of the trail was decent, but there was a section where I had to run in ankle deep water for 20m. My knee did not bother me at any time during the run, so I was thrilled to not have to think about my injury, rather, just concentrate on the running and the trails. The honeysuckle was blooming all through the woods, it was nice to inhale the moist sweetness. When I left the woods I ran back to town. My legs were covered in black mud, I must have cut quite the figure. I ran the last mile at a hard pace, I felt good, and when I got to the library I saw Rachel sitting on a bench outside and I yelled "hey sexy!" She saw me fly by because I had only 400m left, and I heard her laugh and say something about my filthy legs.

Lots of energy today, so I rode my bike to Brookens this morning and did 10 sets of strength exercises, then shot hoops for 1 hour.
Later in the day I ran over to Busey Woods, did a loop, then circled back to town.
My quads are a bit sore from yesterdays 9.5 miles, so I will probably take tomorrow off to let my body recover.
No problems with the knee...
