good

Really good 3 days of running and walking.  26ish total miles!!   I'm getting in much better shape too. Yesterday I did Ken's in 1:19.  I purposely took it easy and was only 4 minutes slower than a hard effort last week.  Things are looking better and better for the 40 miler in Glen Rose in Sep!!

scar tissue

15 miles running yesterday at Barton Creek and 5 miles walking with Misty at Lady Bird this morning. Yesterday I went out with 120 oz of fluid in anticipation of Big Bend in November.  I'm very happy with my best mileage weekend in a while.  My knee did pretty good.  It hurt yesterday but I powered through and did a bunch of stretching yesterday afternoon and it felt pretty good this morning.  I'm now convinced I've got some scar tissue under my knee cap.  I'm sure the buildup of that scar tissue is the minor pain I've been feeling the past couple of years.  I've already texted our good neighbor Reenie about doing some vigorous massage on it to begin breaking it up.   It's going to be very painful but I'm very sure that's what needs to happen.

ass

Pretty darn happy with 1:06.48 for our 7 miler this morning.  Very happy that I'm not losing any marked fitness while I'm trying to get my knee squared away.  Didn't have to get on Mark's ass till around the 5 mile mark on this mornings run.  I'd call that a successful morning!!

Ken's

Good hard 5 miler at Kens yesterday after work in 1:14.56.  That's twice in the last few weeks I've gotten in a harder run at Ken's in the evening.  Maybe I need to make it a regular thing.

reinforcement

Great 7 mile run this morning with Shan and Mark.  We did it in 1:08!!  Very happy with that time, my knee and my fitness.  With the positive reinforcement I got from today's run I'm going to be even more diligent with my knee stuff!!  Looking forward to cranking up the mileage in June!!
