Not sure when I can run again, the race tore me up. No regrets, though, I would do it again, no hesitations.

I have a lot of energy so rode some fast miles on the bike at the cemetery. Back to bike riding, oh no! :)

More fast bike miles at the cemetery, legs felt strong, hamstring and foot getting better, even the knee does not bother me, although that is because I am not running....

Making a nice all around recovery. Hamstring improved quite a bit today, foot is better, and the stiffness in my knee is quickly disappearing. Will try to do some running either Saturday or Sunday, until the knee starts to hurt. Each time out the knee should get a little better. 

Unsure if I will be able to make it the Howl race, it is a month away. One positive is it will be an easier course than Devil's Lake. A simple 3 mile loop on flat trail, that is the kind of terrain which my knee can tolerate, so I just have to get to 90% to give it a go. If not, there is always a race down the road. 

Lots of energy today, so rode hard loops at the cemetery for the 3rd day in a row, then stopped at the Lake House for a park district meeting and free ice cream.

A test run to see how my knee is feeling. It felt a little tight after 2 miles so I stopped. I am guessing 4-6 weeks of limited running will be needed, so the Howl race is out. Since I am going to have some leisure time due to no running I should find another activity to keep me busy.
