I'll keep running....
Because it gives me perspective.
Now I realize my problems aren't so big.
My life is pretty great afterall.
And a mile is a lot longer than it seems in the car.

Tried a "speed" workout for the first time since high school (eek...a long time ago)

1.7 mile warm up running to the track in about 8:58 pace

Than ran at a pace faster than I normally run by a lot (but progressively slower as I got tired):

100M x 4

200M x 2

300M x 2

200M x 1

100M x 2

And I mostly jogged but did a little walking of the same distance I just ran (and occasionally 100M more just to get to where I wanted to start the next set) after each.  I think it was 2.5 miles on the track total if I calculate right.... Then 1.5 mile cool down running the long way home from the track.

 

So I tried wearing a knee brace today and that didn't last past the warm up, it was slipping down my leg and I pulled it as tight as it would go and it bunched up behind my knee and was bulky and made my knees rub together....that's going back to the store!  I was also pretty tired from volleyball last night and I felt it a bit today for sure.
