Notes

My longest 6.5 mile run ever. It makes sense, considering a few factors: running a pint low on hemoglobin, strenuous ultimate session last night, high heat and humidity (77%). Knees complained a lot in the first mile, but this was different from other knee problems. In the past, the pain in the left knee felt more like injury, and recently it had felt like tendinitis in the back of the right knee. Today, though, this felt more like general stiffness due to overuse. I think that's encouraging that the changes I'm making in my running style are helping. Back to the run, the rest of the first half was pretty good, but in the second half I was starting to feel exhaustion, and walked several times; hence, the slow pace. I even felt dizzy at one point. It'll get better, and I should be fine for the race next Saturday.
