It's Tuesday so we had our morning run today. Bill and I met Kristin, Melissa was a no show. We did Johnson Park---a hilly route. So it ended up with 4.7 miles with an average 8:47 pace (the first 2 were in 8:37 pace!). Fast for how many hills there are!

Then we also had Anna tonight. Since my knee is nearly healed, I told her we could work the legs a bit. We did some core/abs, lots of arms, and some weighted squats. Bill was having a bad day today and whined the whole time and with every exercise. I felt pretty good.

Decided to take Monday off this week. Tomorrow's goint to be a busy day.

Sunday--intervals today! Did our 1 mile warmup, then did 8 quarter-mile intervals, then a 1 mile cooldown. Did 1:42-1:49 for most of the 8, with a few of them over 1:50. Did a sub-9 warmup, and a 9:23 cooldown. Knee felt pretty OK, but I chose to stay on the outer loops of the track the whole time so the turns weren't so tight.

Back to try a run today, it's Saturday. We're running Colonial, so it's a nice out and back where I could stop at any time and just come back.

Got to running with Melissa, Amy, and Lori and it was an enjoyable run. Ran the 3 miles out, took a brief break, then back. Knee really didn't bother me, so it was a good run overall. 6 miles at a 9:22 average pace (9:16 average for the first 4 miles, then slowed to a 9:34 average for the last 2).

Another nothing day. Really could have/should have done something, but didn't.

Just couldn't get up this morning after the drive and late softball. Therefore went for a walk after work---just a nice easy walk around the neighborhood. Weather is really nice so it was good to be out. Didn't push it, but tried to run a bit and felt a twinge, so stopped running and just kept it a nice walk---concentrating on not locking the leg and keeping the knee soft.

Had the drive home today (vacation was awesome) so we got going right away this morning. Drove home, then made it to the softball game. We finally won!!!! Hit like crap, but at least had some good fielding plays.

Knee's a little better, but still worried as we are still on vacation and plan to do a bunch of walking so I wanted to keep taking it easy. Did 20 minutes on the bike again and stretching.

We're in Niagara Falls and the knee is still an issue. Knowing we'd have lots of walking today, I just decided to bike again in the fitness center. Did 20 minutes on the bike and good stretching.

We left yesterday afternoon for our drive to vacation in Niagara Falls. Knowing we'd be leaving later due to the Lighthouse, we planned to only drive through Michigan and stay overnight just inside Canada. Got up this morning and the leg is stiff, knee sore. It was fine for the run, but it's tired and sore today. Just did 20 minutes on the recumbent bike in the Holiday Inn fitness room, plus stretching.
