Day 11 - Route change...

Distance - 6 miles
Time - 42:32
Pace - 7:05
Conditions - low 60's and calm

This was by far the best that I have felt since the half marathon.  I had originally planned on going 4 miles again tonight.  I felt pretty good when I got out there so I decided to extend my route a little bit and ended up going 6 miles.  I finished the run pretty strong, running the last 2 miles under 7 minute pace and I felt like I could have went further.  That is always a good feeling and a big confidence booster after such a painful week.  Looks like I might be battling thunderstorms tomorrow so it is probably good that I went a little further tonight.  You know you are getting old when your Friday night consists of - working in the garden for about 3 hours, running 6 miles, and now probably going to watch tv with the dog and have a beer - exciting!  Have a weird stiffness/soreness going on in my right knee so I will have to keep my eye on that.  Nothing major at this point, but that can change in a hurry.  Well, time to shower and have that beer...
