Easy 3 before the rain came in. 7:06's. Knee feeling good again. Legs felt pretty fresh. I'll continue with this slow build up for a while.

Ended up running today's 3.25 a lot faster than planned. Averaged 6:51/per mile. Not a tempo run and not quite GMP (6:30-6:40), but still very fast. My second mile was 6:43. The crazy part was is it felt pretty easy and smooth. I will definitely slow it down the rest of the week though just to be on the safe side.

Was going to go 4 today, but ended up pulling off early because I felt a little twinge in my knee. Didn't want to take ANY chances so I ended the run early. I think it was just the short turnaround since yesterdays workout that gave me a little pain. No biggie, i'll ice it tonight and hit the roads again tomorrow.

Fought past a little soreness today to end up with 4 miles, averaged 7:05's. Knee was sore after 3 miles, but I pressed on. I can't baby it forever, so I'm gonna just see how training through it gets me. Its not the debilitating pain that it was before, its just sore. So I just ordered a Cho-Pat ITB strap today and hopefully thatll help as well.

I could have gone a lot farther today. Everything felt great, including my knee. I still stopped it at 4.5. Still feel like I need to be cautious in order for it to totally heal. Even so, my first mile was in 6:38, the high range of my GMP (6:30-6:40). I made sure to slow it down and finished with a 7:00 average. Great day today, taking tomorrow off, then back at it next week. Hopefully this knee will keep feeling strong.
