June 26, 2011 Sunday 55 days to go.
Today my long run of 2 1/2 hours was the longest I have run in a long while. My right knee was still tender from yesterday , so I decided to wear a knee brace. Also wore my Adidas instead of my Newtons.Began running along seawalk and 5 minutes into run realized that I was going to need a knee brace for my left knee as well. Returned home, got knee brace and then thought to myself "why am I running in the beating down sun on pavement when I could be on shady trails in the wood?" Went to Beaver Lodge lands and ran the trails there. At 30 minutes felt done, so ate a Mentos and had some water. That perked me right up. Had a Mentos every 30 minutes after that. Sipped alot of water too. At 1 hour my right knee felt shot. I tightened the knee brace and was good to go. At 2 hours my right knee was having shooting pains. Question - which is doing more good - quitting or running for another 1/2 hour? I ran/walked for the last 1/2 hour then iced my knee when I got home. Later Lorne massaged it for quite awhile.
