Can a guy find some sidewalk

Went for a 3.64 mile run today here in Columbus. I am at the Holiday Inn this week because the Baymont is full due to the Air Show. So I looked on Google and thought I found a nice path that would take me to a park about 2.5 miles away. Well, there wasn't a single sidewalk on the route, I was running right next to a very busy road, and people were not making an effort to give me any room. So I cut it a little short and didn't make it too the park. I didn't want to risk getting run over.

4 Good Miles

Ran 4 good miles last night. Up hill, down hill, on grass, sidewalks and the road, and didn't have any of the pain in the back of my knee. Not even this morning when I woke up, and I was runing at a good clip, 8 minute miles, which is a lot faster than I have been running. The new stretches I have been doing by pushing on my leg above the knee when it's straight have worked. My PT has worked it over good for a few sessions. He tells me now to just run and see how it feels. So tomorrow I am going to run 4-5 more up at Crystal Mountain.

4 Miles

Nice run today, 4 miles around the block here at home. My legs were sore, but they felt strong, and the run felt pretty easy. I felt the runners knee a little, not feeling the pain I had in the back of the knee, just some aches. So I think I am feeling better. Looking forward to feeling better and getting back into it.

Good 3 Miles

Another 3 miles in 93 degree weather here in Columbus. Again, me legs felt pretty good, tired, but not painful. I think it is safe to say that I am not going to make my marathon in October though. I am way off on my training and I am not where I need to be. Time to reschedule another marathon.
