After some time off my knee felt pretty good. So I thought I would make up for my poor attempt at key workout #1. I headed out late afternoon with a surpising bounce in my stride. But after a mile or so, some hint of knee pain set in. I ran through it, and it seem to have disappeared? I kept a solid pace of 7:30 for my first 4 mile tempo. It was a tail wind to the park so I knew I would be fighting the wind on the way back. I wasn’t sure if I could keep the same pace on the way back, but somehow the rested legs took me home. I looked at my totals and my average pace was around 7:45, and that include a short walk break at the park. So I was rather impressed with my effort, but was worried about my knee. Jason and I are suppose to put in 18 miles tomorrow, and back to back key workouts was not going to be easy.
