Legs still a little tired. THe watch was telling me to do a tempo run, but I didn't feel up to it. I am definitely feeling some patellar pain syndrome in the right knee more so than the left, and some impact pain in the ankle.

Light lifting but running at high base - not the zone 2 run I expected, but also not going too hard either. First time on the dreadmill with the Garmin Forerunner 955, and I am pretty stoked at the ability to calibrate the treadmill running setting for what it really was.

It's an indicator that I don't think I'm going as hard as I think and I am running a few minutes faster on the treadmill than I did just three weeks ago-- with no section even approaching zone 4. This is definitely good progress on aerobic base.

Probably taking tomorrow off as I have some things to do that'll preclude anything I want to do (and to give my ankle and knees a break).

First lift in a while, although today marked the first leg extensions and leg curls in a long while. This is my attempt to do some remedy for my patellar pain syndrome, which has really flared up the last two weeks. Easy running today seven hours later, although not as easy as I probably should've gone.

Today was a suggested tempo run, which I didn't really feel like, but by the halfway mark, that's exactly what it became, especially after the tough hill on the last leg, a 6.6% grade for .35 miles. I'm actually pretty glad I can do that entire uphill without stopping.

With today's weather, and because the gyms were closed (federal holiday), I decided a long run was in order. This was awesome, and is really encouraging. Pace was not bad (and certainly faster than yesterday), although I went harder than I had originally intended. Still, this was a good day on the trail.

Easy recovery run after the hard run on Friday night. My right ankle and right knee are definitely feeling having gone that hard as they're a bit tender to impact in some places. The goal today was to run as much as I could in zones 2 and 3, although there were some uphills that went harder than that. I also am not sure how much credence I want to give my wrist HRM versus a chest strap.
