Single leg squats and stretching during work. Didn't have time for hip flexibilities before run and forgot hip flexor stretching. Rolled and stretched hip flexors in evening.

Beautiful run through the goldenrod filled meadows in North Park Nature Preserve. Turkeys, deer, you name it. My body was not so beautiful though. I was smooth and relaxed and keeping it nice and easy through first half of the run. I even kept amazingly good relaxation downhill to Brown rd., but trouble was coming. I fell apart where I am usually at my best best; going up the steep hill to Skyline Meadow. My knee started taking stress and my form was breaking down at both the glutes and my foot-strike. All of the sudden nothing felt smooth and relaxed. I spiraled down between form fatigue and metabolic fatigue. Got through the run without causing damage to my knee though held form pretty well on the downhill from skyline meadow considering how I was feeling, so I can not complain too much.
