Four Inches of Rain

We got some local flooding last night. Our place is fine, but some of the paved trails in the park were flooded and we had to take short detours. I never considered the grass trails - I’m sure they were very wet and muddy. The girls ran their usual 3.6 miles while I ran 5.8.

The right knee only yelled once, when I briefly slowed to a walk. I walked several times too, governed by breathing. When it rose from one breath per four footfalls to one per three, that meant I was working harder than a tempo run, and I slowed. Finish time 59:40, pace 10:17. Good enough - it was another recovery run.

Breakfast. That's organic kefir, not milk:
