Nice 7 today with my brother. Kept it around 7:10s. Started to feel some pain in the knee about 5, so its nice that it held off that long but also not nice to know its still bugging me. Good thing Im only training for shorter races as the ITB still heals.

3 mile tempo in 18:45 today. Knee has been bugging me a lot lately, may be time for a longer break. May have to give up summer races to let this thing get better. Frustrated.

4 miles in the pouring rain today. Got completely drenched, but it was kinda fun. Took off the shirt and just tried to enjoy the rain--thats half the fun in running. Knee felt better today, i will probably run in dam to dam this weekend (5k).

13x400 today at 1:18-1:22. Ended up running the 3.25 in 17:20, or right about 5:20 pace. The knee felt good too, even with no strap. Getting pumped for the weekend 5k. My goal is just to break 18, but I think I can get 17:30 on a good day.

2 mile rustbuster this morning. Legs were actually a little sluggish, hopefully I got enough blood moving to clear them out and that they are ready for tomorrow's 5k.

Dam to dam 5k today. I usually do the 20k and am bummed i wasnt able to because of my knee, but I jumped in the 5k instead. Did not have a great race, my time was slow and reflects how much shape ive lost to this injury. That being said, I did get 3rd in my age group and got a medal. 13th out of 2600 isnt bad either. So i just need to focus on the positives and improve from here. Hopefully next week will be a better race.
