I didn't fall this week!
This week was pretty good. I'm making consistent progress considering I had to start over. I didn't really run through the winter months and that's something I'm going to have to work out for next year.
- I ran my longest run - 7.44 miles - at a 9:26 pace. I did notice that around mile 4, I had sharp pains on the inside of my left kneecap and back spasms. I was running on an asphalt track. Flat, nothing different. Only felt it on the track. Not before, not after. Weirdness.
| mi | pace | climb (ft) |
| 1 | 10:06 | 92 |
| 2 | 9:21 | 15 |
| 3 | 9:30 | -33 |
| 4 | 9:34 | -18 |
| 5 | 10:02 | 16 |
| 6 | 9:38 | 12 |
| 7 | 9:04 | -75 |
| 8 | 9:21 | -25 |
- My weekly mileage was also the highest for the year.
- And my overall pace is still improving since my re-introduction in March.

Looks like you are playing it smart and I'm sure that will help with the overuse injuries. Another strategy that I use to avoid overuse injuries is ICE LIKE HELL! :)
Overuse injuries, sigh. I am not even running as far as you, but I am constantly assessing how I feel. I just got back from 5 days in OR. Boy, I thought we had hills in NH! Bought new Nikes there, too. And now my back is out... I did strength training for an hour Tues. & did 5 mi. walk today w/an hour of gentle yoga as a chaser... but I may not run until I see where this back thing is going :-( Pain is a drag.
