Knee still hurts a bit but is hurting less. I'm enjoying the day off.
Tuesday, August 26 through Thursday, August 28, 2008
Times on the 10-mile stationary bike ride were all over the place. I took it easy on Tuesday due to the knee pain and rode a 28:06, my longest ride in quite a while. Then I rode 26:49 and 27:10 on Wednesday and Thursday. I watched the DNC throughout much of the rides.

Another day off. My knee is feeling much better and I'm reading the previous pain as just plain soreness for now.

The dog took me for a drag around the block and then I ran a mile in 10 minutes. I listened to Fragile by Yes, another album on which many of the songs have a beat that I found comfortable to run with.

I didn't run today as my wife and I were out of town visiting relatives. I'll use today as a rest day and run tomorrow (Labor day).
Mental Skills used for the Week: Even though I'm continuing listen to music while running, I'm using it less for distracting and more for associative work - trying to find a cadence that fits the pace I'm running. I'm also continuing to carefully watch my aches and pains to make sure they don't represent any problems beyond just my body protesting that it's too damn early to be active :-).
Additionally, I'm still using goal setting, motivation, persistence, etc.
Until next week...
