Bike

Took the bike out for a quick spin yesterday, did not want to miss a day of some work. I am behind from last week.
2.5M today planned, not looking forward to it but it is nice and cool now.

Run

After my last post complaining about the blown up knee I took 3 running days off after consulting with my personal physician Angela. Knee is better, tiny bit of swelling, just a tightness on the outside. I did push mow my yard sunday afternoon. 3 1/2 hours of pushing should have been good for some training. Yard looks great by the way. So last night I bought a knee brace at Walmart and hit CCT. Just did 2 M @ a little under 20min, thought I would go easy and see how the knee felt. Feels OK this morning, training resumes, back all in for 1/2 Marathon.

Knee

Right knee was huge yesterday. No running planned and none done. If I had to send the money today for the 1/2 Marathon I would not. 10K is looking better every day. I will run 2M this afternoon and see how it is tonight.

Run

2M @ 18min CCT, right knee feels stiff, some side swelling.

Lowest in about 25 years.

Fri & Sun

Friday I ran 2 miles on Clabber Creek trail. My times seem to be all over the place. Not sure if it is due to Clabber being so flat but it was a quick run, 18 min. Sunday was not. 2.5 miles on Scull Creek, 30 min. It did not seem like I was going slower. I did run into a friend at 1.5 who rode his bike until 2M and we talked the entire way. Scull C T also has several up hill bridge and road crossings, I was happy to do 2.5 without stopping, it was humid and the walk back to the car was a nice warm down. Knee is OK this morning.

Run

Ran last night after a short trip out to Dombeks. Clabber Creek trail, 2M at 18 min. Suprised at the time but double checked time and distance, must be improving. I thought the 2 vodka tonics before the run would slow me down, turned out OK.
