7/20

And another month down...knee is much better these days, it seems (I have been having some pain in the opposing hip that I assume is derived from shifting things around with my knee).

I've been running in the mornings with a friend for the past couple weeks.  I have to say that while I've loved being done with my run by 7 am, I'm not thrilled by my performance.  I feel so much slower and weaker than I did a couple of years ago.  But at least I'm running, and it's good to be back on the roads and have the wind resistance (I'm running 1.5 miles to meet her, 2 miles with her, and then the 1.5 miles home).

I still haven't decided if I'm running a half this fall or not...when I'm not running, I want to do it, but at 5:45 am when I'm staring down another bleary-eyed five miles in the insane humidity, it doesn't sound so great.
