Easy run at Pine Grove. I needed a run like this. Left knee feels better but right knee is starting to get sore. Interesting.

Workout. It was very evident in this workout that I was just coming back into shape. Workout was 6x800@2:40-:45 on 400 recovery jog. I lost all ideas of pacing after my break.

I'm hoping that this will jump start my system enough to come back strong and hold that pace as a threshold pace for the race. It didn't feel too easy then but I'll have to get in the race and find out what happens.

Easy run on duck pond trails with Pealer. Knee feels better on the trails and when I run barefoot. Still not great though. I can feel it walking around and walking down stairs.

Windy run out on roxbury with the guys. Knee felt really really good for first 15 minutes and then it started hurting for the last 20 minutes. The 5 minutes barefoot on the infield seemed to help it feel better.

Rest day. Trying to let my body use all it's resources for knee tendon repair. Tomorrow is go day. If I can't run by tomorrow, then conferences is off. I'l still have time for two workouts before the race then.

I tried running for 2 minutes before this. The knee is still not ready. It's gonna have to be ready soon because I need to get some workouts in before conferences. Spence and I spoke and decided that if it's not run ready by thursday it'd be better to not run at PSACs.
On a kinda positive note I achieved one of my goals for my cross training period. (note that I said this goal as a joke) But I broke one of the elliptical trainers in the Rec Center. I normally chose the same one and I guess it wasn't ready for the time and intensity that I put it under. Interesting.

Good session

This is all I had time for today. Oh well it's something.
