Consistent

Thursday: 22:46, 7'45/m 
Saturday: 22:30, 7'45/m
Today: 22:29, 7'47/m

I attempted a second run on Saturday.  I made it 2 miles before feeling like I was going to faint. Apparently I didn't learn my lesson the first time.  Don't Run Twice in a Day!!!

I'm still trying to make the next leap.  Nearly every run the past two weeks (besides the actual 5K) has been between 22:30 and 22:45; very stinking consistent; which is not what I'm shooting for at this point.  One of these days I need to severely break the wall and come in under 22.  I need a little sign of improvement before this next 5K. 

My knee is of concern. Though it hasn't come close to the pain - or the swelling - that sidelined me last year (around June) - it's starting to feel pretty sensitive, especially at the start of runs.  I purchased some knee wrap and am wrapping tightly above the knee for support.  Since my final surgery in 2008, there's been quite a bit of atrophy I just can't seem to build back up.  The wrap helps, but is rough against the skin.  I might have to try a brace next.

I should probably take tomorrow off.  But I've gotten to the point of obsession where I want to run every day.
