Met with Sasha at 6:15. We waited as we were expecting some others to possibly join us. Sasha invited David Bell, Nick McCoombs, and Steve to join us. However, it was just the two of us as usual. Sasha did his norml tuesday 5 mile tempo but I am still recovering from a cold and ran much easier. Legs felt good overall. Ran 10.2m miles total at an average pace of 7:00. Afterwards I picked up James and put my youngest son in the baby jogger and ran 3 more mile with James pushing the baby jogger. My youngest is almost three years old and when we were done he wanted to run so he ran 100 meters in 37 seconds.

Hope you get over your cold soon, but dang you are still doing some fine recovery runs. As far as my knee pain, I know it is a case of chondromalacia (had it before), hopefully just go light for a while, take ibuprofen and stretch and ice. It kind of came on in the middle of the week, but today has been the most noticable (tried to go out at lunch but felt it more so scraped the run). Rather skip a run now and be ready for the Dam Marathon than push for training miles. Any other ideas?
