On this day:

5.5 Miles Easy/Steady untimed


I ran the Canal loop with the Old Man in my old NB 832's, and didn't time it. My Dad lost one of his contact lenses at 12 minutes, so we had to look for that (we found it). My leg felt absolutely great, the muscles around the knee just felt a little weak. What has made the big difference you ask? I've been stretching the whole upper leg complex, including hamstring (central, lateral & medial insertions), quadriceps, groin, ITB & tensor fascia latae. Although this takes an absolute age each time I go through the routine, it really eases the knee up. I reckon the ligaments in the knee were getting aggravated due to chronic tightness in the right leg (caused by running around the track?). Now I'm addressing the tightness, the soft tissue of the knee should eventually calm back down to normal. Also, I've adjusted the seating position at my computer desk & in my car to one that doesn't hurt, which can only help...
