Green Asics -- Summer 2017

Night run after drinking in Morristown with Julie and Jackie. Pushed hard to destress.

Evening run around the foothill loop. Left my workout bag at school, so I ran in my summer shoes without the knee strap. Knee felt fine, but left foot hurt as usual. It wasn't an easy run, but went well considering my current fitness level. Legs are a little sore already.

Evening run around the Hills with Julie. Good uphill. Wore the knee strap for the first time. Knee was feeling much better before and shortly after the run. Now, several hours after, it feels about how I would have expected from the past few months.

Running around the meet of champions. Warmed up my knee a tiny bit in hopes of hurting less. Still tender afterwards.

Running to the bowl and back during the groups meet. Knee kind of hurt afterward.

(Not 100% sure on the shoes. Taking my best guess.)

Night run / walk with Julie around the neighborhood. Gave my knee a pep talk in advance. It pulled through like a champ. Good work knee. It seemed about the normal amount of sore today?

Late night run the evening after my GRE. I've been taking a while off of running to let my knee feel better. But running really relieved some anxiety. I hope my knee gets better soon, but it's a little sore to touch right now. Coach gave me glucosamine pills that I'm trying. Hopefully it helps.

Run out the lower neighborhood and a 9-minute tempo loop at practice.

Running to the bowl and back twice during shore coaches' invitational. Left knee tendinitis (probably) is really hurting afterward. I think I better take some time off.

5k and 10k at Duke Island Park. This was the best running day I've had in a really long time. 5k was 20:30ish beating my 21:00 goal. 10 was 44:00ish beating my 50:00 goal, and my original 45:00 goal that I decided was unrealistic. I pushed hard in the 5k, and picked people off the whole time climbing from 10th to 5th. Then I missed a turn and two dude passed me and I had to get them again. I didn't plan to push hard during to 10k, but there were some people just hanging in front of me so I decided I better get them. And then more people started coming back to me.
