good Stretching out the back 1000 yd 00:45 79:11 pace
To add icing on the tight hamstring/knee issue cake, my low back decided that it wanted to give me stabbing pain all last week, so I have really been out on the DL. Went to the gym to see if a swi... read more

One of my coworkers, who I also run with, suggested reading the "Foundation Training" book which I think I'm going to look into. He lent me the book last night and I started it. I spend so much of my day sitting at a computer/driving, its no surprise that my posture is now in the pits. http://foundationtraining.com/home

good Walk in Seven Gables 2 mi 00:35 17:30 pace
Still giving the knee a rest so I went for a walk in the park with my coworker Beth. Good to get some fresh air and to stretch the legs.
Hoping to motivate myself to a swim tomorrow morning.

injured Door County Half Marathon 2013 13.2 mi 02:33 11:35 pace

I'm sorry you had a rough time, but given your knee I'm super impressed you finished. That must have been frustrating, especially on the down hills. Great job pushing through! I hope you got to enjoy the beautiful scenery and maybe some cherry-stuffed french toast. I think Door County is my favorite half too. Hope that knee feels better soon!

good HB Run Club 1.87 mi 00:20 10:41 pace
Ran with the HB crew to test out the knee. Knee wasn't 100% but much less pain that in the past week. Mix of running and walking mainly because LaFratta was struggling in the 80 degrees and ... read more
