Run #5 on Saturday went well enough. Nice and cool morning around the neighborhood, and only a few spots where I needed to stop. The only real downside was that my left knee was aching. Fortunately, I discovered a knee brace I forgot that I had.
Run #6- brutal. It felt hot and I only managed a 12 minute mile. I was out for an hour and covered the same amount of ground as I normally have done. I pushed through the pain of the left knee, which turned to a dull ache for most of the run. I only really stopped to tie up my shorts and to just catch my breath. My endurance was challenged more than usual. When I returned home I discovered that a 55 minute excursion had no real extra milage. Today was disappointing. I suppose I should get used to that. Not even the sunniest day can offer a stellar accomplishment each and every time. Today can suck it, training-wise. I have only myself to blame.
Onward, and upward.
