Found enough shade and breeze to make this tolerable w/tbirds. Dragging a bit from last night and a lot of racing lately so I'll just keep doing these 1/2 hour runs w/the kids until I feel better. Right knee still problematic, too.

This run did me in! 1 mile WU, 5 miles tempo, 5 minutes jog, 3 miles tempo (was supposed to be 4 miles), 1 mile CD. I was pooped for the 2nd tempo. I am not sure why. It could be the humidity, or that I didn't eat much the day before, or something else. It made me nervous for the marathon coming up.

On a positive note, my left calf felt much better after the dry needling on Tuesday! That worked great!

Nice morning out there, came upon a pretty darn good size snapping turtle this morning. My new 'mate, similar speeds.

Curious, how many of you utilize a Garmin or some sort of GPS device when running, etc.
  • Dan Dan Absolutely have been running with various Garmins for 12 years or so. A stretch of "Garmin free running" about a year ago was difficult for me!
    • posted at 09:21:00 EDT

It was a warm and buggy workout.

Looked like there was an openwater swim going on in the lake. A couple of miles in it was real tempting to abandon the workout and just jump in the lake!

Little to no pain with the injury on this run. And that was when I thought about it. Thinking that it was even less than yesterday for pain level. E-Z does it with the running until I get through this thing. I am hoping it is nothing more than a strain.
