Another fast run for me, and the best mile was mile 5, 8:59, up Greenwich Ave. I was wearing my new Lululemon running shorts. I got a certificate for the store and I hear these shorts won't chafe and they 3 pockets, one with a zipper!

My knee was bothering me mile 1.5, and I was thinking of stopping but I stretched and kept going. My condition improved. It was a bit muggy and I probably should have taken my water bottle. Going to take some glucosamine now, an OTC supplement which I hear helps with recovery.

Felt much better than yesterday. I had a nice breeze and my water bottle with powdered lemon lime Gatorade. I still can't sense my pace, as I thought I was doing more 10:30ish miles at the end but it was more like 11:30.

Assuming I don't run Fri, I finish Sept w/151 miles, which is only the 6th highest in 17th months. Jul and Aug were 189 and 178, my two highest. On the brighter side, I ran 3/4 marathon (with some breaks) on a hilly trail and a 2:09:39 half with no taper, originally planned as a long run. Three days after the half I ran 7.38 miles at 10:14 pace, 4 seconds faster than my ideal marathon pace. Not sure if that's good but I thought I would add it.

I was feeling a bit stiff Friday and I was debating running today. I figured a slow, but semi long run might help loosen me up. Overall, I felt fine. Maybe I need to cut down on the speed workouts and stretch more. Hopefully I can feel good to run a 20 sometime soon and figure out how to have a gel without slowing down too much.
