Some dirt

I got my seven miles in today.  I went down to the park and ran the big circle 4 times.  It wasn’t too bad.  After 2 miles, I switched directions so it looked a little different.  I think if I had to do 15 that way, I’d go bonkers.

My legs felt alot better for this run.  I was a little wobbly and not used to the twisty ground but it did feel good to be in mud again.  I wore my trails shoes which I had missed alot!

My right knee did ok, although when I kneel or go downstairs it has a moderate amount of pain.  Its had to describe but most of it seems to be on the inside, at the base of when my quad muscle connects.  Tomorrow is rest day so maybe that will help.  I’ve started doing my leg lift stuff at work so I’m hoping that will help them too.

Not much else to say.  Hope all the Canadian folkes are having a great Thanksgiving.

    That’s exactly how I used tofeel about running on the track–12 laps for a 5k just drove me absolutely nuts!

    Great run Jon. I think I did a similar run to you, yesterday. I am in Israel visiting my parents for the week - posted my run around onoe of the local parks in Jerusalem on my blog. The trail was horrible all broken and cratery - think I hurt my arch a little, gonna take a couple of days off to recover.

    Jon - when are you going to make some kosher chocolate for Danny and me?

    Thanks for posting on my blog.
    Kosher chocolate is probably pretty much the same as non-kosher, just no lard or anything like that (obviously). But the pots need to be kosher and stuff. Maybe next run that you, Danny and I do together we can get together and make some chocolate afterwards - if we can figure out the logistics.

    Those truffles from New Haven looked heavenly.

    Keep up the quad exercises. Over time you’ll notice the pain lessen in severity. It just takes time. I’m still in the phase where I have excellent days for the most part, but once in a while the knee will stiffen and remind me who’s boss. ;)

    Yeah, seven is halfway to the distance for New Haven next year, because I HAVE to have one of your truffles!
