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.

11/27/11

10.4 miles -- Cheyenne Mountain State Park and back

Weekly total: 55 miles

Not exactly what I wanted mileage-wise for this week but I guess that's what happens when you take two days off.

11/26/11

AM: 5 miles -- ???? random trail run with the dog

PM: 3 miles -- Down Thames and up Star Ranch (walking)

Most of today was spent walking. It's probably for the best because my knee is sore and I'm going up steeper climbs than I'm used to in Omaha.

11/25/11

8.1 miles -- Farthing to Star Ranch to Broadmoor Valley and back via Broadmoor Bluffs

The knee is starting to act up and I can't help but think it's because I haven't been taking flaxseed this week.

11/24/11

0 miles

A lot of people make it a point to go running the morning of Thanksgiving. I guess I decided to do the opposite.
