I ran my 11 km today after work, a little bit slower than my last run, doing it in 1:16:39 for a 6:58 pace as opposed to a 6:49 pace last time. I felt I worked a lot harder too and I don’t know if it was because I was tired from karate yesterday, [...]

I considered running again today and almost canceled because my knee wasn’t feeling all that great. But then I decided that maybe I’d slap a knee brace on like last time only this time I would go slow. Turns out I had a great 11 km run with a 6:42 pace. I [...]

Another 11 km which started out famously at a 6:40 pace until km 6 then I completely fell aprt in spite of the fact that I was wearing a knee brace. It is very discouraging, especially after a week break from running. My doctor’s appointment is not until Nov. 10th, but I will [...]

OK I have a major problem with my knee. I started out fine, at well under a 7 minute pace until km 7 where the old knee popping/swelling thing reared it’s ugly head. The knee popping is especially bad going uphill, and the swelling really takes off on the downhill. So I [...]

(The results are in and my time was 2:30:57 for a 7:10 pace)
In spite of feeling pretty run down I ran this half marathon in 2:31:07 according to my stopwatch which I forgot to stop immediately after the finish line, but only by a few seconds. I will correct the real time as soon [...]

My knee always lets me know it is there and not happy lately, however today’s run was much better. I ran 11 km in 1:15:57 for a 6:54 pace. Although it was sunny it was quite cool at 8 degrees and a wind gusting to 56 kph. Running against that wind is [...]

I met some people today at this charity run for an orphanage in Haiti. Ran it in about 37 minutes. Had a lot of fun. Brian had it laid out like a mini Death Race complete with Mt. Hamill and flags. But it was nothing like the real thing.
I’ll be doing [...]
