I really wanted to hit 70 miles this week but I tweaked my knee (the left one this time) on Saturday night. I wasn't even running, just stumbling around my apartment after coming home from drinking too many beers. I didn't hit it on anything, just was walking around and pulled something in the knee cap region. Very weird and hurt like a bitch on Sunday (hence the only 3.8 miles) but I think (hope) it's going to go away fast.

Finally got back to doing two-a-days this week. It was cold as a mother every morning (and most nights). I tried the dreadmill at the work gym one morning but it was so terrible I decided I'd just rather run outside even if I have to freeze my ass out. Save for the weekend, this is about where I want to be as far as daily mileage goes.

Another weak week mileage-wise. Since getting back from Colorado my right knee has flared up again but in a different spot (kneecap). I can't help but think this was somewhat brought on by not taking flaxseed oil for six days. Whatever it is, I need to get it under control soon so I can get back the consistency I had during the summer.
