Completed 11 miles at a 11:42 pace with group 9.
January 16th, 2010
Lately my right knee has been bothering me along with my left achilles tendon so I was worried about the 11 mile run today. To hopefully address the problem I bought Ace knee and ankle braces which I wore during half of the run. Then my feet started to get uncomfortable – I felt the ankle brace was too tight. So at the water station at mile 5 I took the ankle braces off. By the time I had my shoes back on the group was already half a mile away so I had to run pretty hard to catch up. It probably took me a good 10min to catch up and fall back into pace. I was pretty exhausted by the end of the 11mile run but luckily no knee or ankle problems. Those Ace bandages seemed to work pretty well.
Only 53 days till the LA Marathon…
