feel less beat up than yesterday, which is great, but still feeling some tweaks in my knees on occasion (lateral quad tendons/insertions).

my left hamstring tendon was bugging before my walk, then disappeared after my walk in that thick grass.

that thick grass walk made my legs feel really good.. it wasn't just thick grass but also some tall weeds etc, so I had to step over lots of stuff.. think it was a really nice combo.

nothing else to report!

really hoping my knees don't feel achy tomorrow .. just hoping this shit disappears. if it doesn't, need to take both sunday & monday off (sunday I have planned off, but monday will have to happen as well, and if still achy, tues & potentially wed ..)

i'm optimistic my legs will feel alot better tomorrow .. since they've been improving all day.

Man, watching this video I'm just like "these guys are really good at running." Like in the way that Federer is good at tennis. Not just winning games/winning races, but just making the act itself look amazing.

yup, very well said. agree 100%.

at that level, their legs look like propeller blades. to get them kind of ROM/cadence, they have to be moving incredibly fast. it's just beautiful to watch, and eventually try to emulate. hah.

but ya, looks incredible to me.. very mesmerizing to me, I can just get lost in the form. beautiful.

forgot to check my endomondo stats yesterday .. hit another 18:32 5k during my progression. Also a 3k @ 5:41 min/mi pace, nice! 1k was 5:17 min/mi.

second from the front guy has some serious float going on.
