Longer Run - Good Results

06 Mar 2009 - Eugene, Fox Hollow trail in Ridgeline Just before lunch today I ran Fox Hollow. It is a gorgeous day visually, but still actually fairly cool at 43 degrees. I felt fairly decent today and was pretty excited to go run. Did a longer time today too, longest since starting back up at about 29 minutes. Roughly 3 miles. RunKeeper was way off, so I don't really know. This run felt quite good, similar to Wed in that I was getting tired at the end, but felt like I could have kept going for a while. Now that I'm home, have stretched and showered, I have a bit of strain in the outside-right tendon behind my knee, where it meets the fibula, which is what my chiropractor started addressing yesterday. This is the same spot as got really bad before I think, so hopefully I can keep the running in check and he can do some magic on that area. I will say that today, it is less of a "pain" than a "strain". By that I mean it's more like I did a hard workout, and less like it's hurt. I sure hope that's the case anyway, and I'm hopeful. Attire wise, same thing as Wed, Pearl Izumi knickers, Icebreaker GT 220 top, gloves, etc. Last night Icebreaker sent an email promo for their new stuff, and low and behold, they now have [running] knickers! I ordered the "Strider":http://www.icebreaker.com/site/icebreaker_man_icebreakergt180_strider.html?thumb_value=Black this morning: !http://cache.icebreaker.com/icebreaker/new/images/large_product_image/ss09/ss09_m_ibw555001_cwh.jpg! Can't wait to try these out. I've really been liking the Pearli ones, and of course having the Icebreaker fetish I do, glad I found these before I ordered another pair of Pearls.
