45 Minute run (5 miles) - 7/28

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm trying to keep things easy this week. So instead of doing a tempo run today, or even a trail run - I just did my normal 5.25 mile loop at an easy pace.

I still am feeling some soreness in my left knee. I initially thought it was maybe where the hamstring connects to the lower leg, but it actually feels slightly off from that. The only thing I could tell for certain was that I felt it most when lifting my foot off the ground.

The good news is that the soreness in my right knee is gone.

Total Distance: 5.25 miles
Total Time: 49:51
Avg HR: 153

Once again, the hot and humid weather took their toll on performance. As tempted as I was to maintain a 9 min/mile pace, I forced myself to follow the lower HR and let the time be what it would be.
