Roegner Park. Ran solo today because I wasn't sure how my knee was going to do. I wore my knee brace on the L knee. It was all just a trial run. I ended up being able to run further than I thought I could with very little pain. It wasn't until mile 10+ where my knee started hurting me more. It was actually my opposite knee in the front direct that was sharp pain that made me stop. My L knee was slightly bothersome on mile 5 but it seemed to go away and wasn't as drastic. I learned to stop and walk when I felt some real pain to not further injure myself. It was a nice day for a run! Cloudy but not too cold. Lot of independant runners and a couple running together. A lot of disc golfers out as well + the walking dog clan. Felt a lot of endurance; just too bad I couldn' t complete the 15 miles but I was just shooting for as much as I could get. I will try for my longer run next week (fingers crossed). Felt pretty good today.

TT: about 2 hours (my gps wasn't as accurate because I walked a couple of miles after and forgot to stop it before I got into my car and started to drive.)

Avg: 10:17 min.                        Max: ?
