Solid steady state run today, 50 minutes at SS effort. I can definitely feel myself getting fitter, but a big test awaits this weekend as my long run steps up to 13. That will be on Sunday. Tomorrow I’ll do an easy run or cross train to be ready.

So glad for Monday rest days after Sunday long run days.

FOR YOUR CONTEMPLATION

“My mission, should I choose to accept it, is to find peace with exactly who and what I am.

To take pride in my thoughts, my appearance, my talents, my flaws and to stop worrying that I can’t be loved as I am.”

No running for me today, but I wasn’t about to miss the #cherryblossomtenmiler. My team, @athletics_east_masters_tc, had two men’s open teams running so I was out there to support them and say hi to lots of other friends as well. My weird back of knee injury continues to hound me, but I still hobbled around for at least 4 miles. And it was worth it to see so many friends and capture some tremendous scenic spring views while I was at it.

Haven’t posted in a couple of days. Haven’t run in a few days either. My knee acted up after Saturday’s run - not the area that was operated on, but lower and on the inside and also on the back of the knee. It got really sore and stiff, so I decided to just shut it down for a few days. I’m still resting it but it’s feeling a lot better now. Wearing a knee sleeve helps. So I think I’ll try a run tomorrow. Meanwhile, @finnmcshane had nice walk at #danielsrunpark. Now back to the workday, and then it’s off to coach @lewislancersxctf distance runners at this evening’s meet. Busy busy busy. 🐝

#latergram from earlier in the evening. I got out for a run as the sun was setting on a pleasant day. I’ve been grinding away on a proposal for a client that’s been pretty intense and I was definitely tired today. I’ll be tired tomorrow as well, because after the run, #strengtraining and dinner, I logged another two hours of work and finally closed up the laptop after midnight. So it goes with #consultantlife sometimes.
