Today David and I ran along the lake. The goal was 6 miles. My left knee said 4, which is not too bad. It felt tender, and I didn't want to push anything, so we walked the last 2 miles. I felt bad for David, because I know he wanted to run the 6. He is training for the Chicago Half Marathon.
Our pace was slow, but it usually is when we run. We spend a great deal of time chatting, so the times of the run suffer. I don't that is all bad, because in reading about Long Slow Distance(LSD) work, the slow run helps with your stamina. I know David and I go a bit faster on our own, so I am not worried at this point.
I am doing some stretching of my legs to help, and it seems to work. The pain is not as bad as it was last week. I just need some time. Again, good thing this is early in the training.
