"Trail Run #3"

Trail run #3 happened a few days ago (Tuesday), but then I went off to a conference, and am just getting to this. I had actually hoped to go for a run during the conference. I brought my shoes and so on, but never made it, more on that in a bit... My wife and I ran the same trail as on Trail Run #2, but we in the same amount of time we ran more (covered more distance, and higher percentage of time was spent running). Very cool. She felt better on this run, and I was doing good as well, but this was probably the first one where during part of the run I was having to rest a bit more (in particular a bit after half way there was a steep hill that got me a bit). Still pretty psyched, and found that we might be able to make this trail a loop, need to research a bit. So then I spent the rest of the week, through Sunday at a conference in Portland. I know that Portland has the great Forest Park, and was hoping to get over there and do a run (and see the park). But, unfortunately that never happened. The conference was crazy busy (8:30am to sometimes 10pm each night, with nary a break). I had thought I'd run one or two of the mornings during some keynotes I didn't care about. Timing would have wound up being tight, but honestly, the truth was I was simply too tired each day, and also found the area just below my knees to be hurting quite a bit. I should get out on the bike today for a quick spin, see if I can work the leg/knee pain out, so that when my wife and I run again tomorrow things will be good. Hope that works.
