dailylife

Had a great run. Monday a week ago I ran 5 miles, and I felt that in my left knee on Thursday, if only a little bit. I had calculated that the past weekend, when we visited New Jersey, would make a nice recovery period and indeed it did -- I didn't feel my left knee at all. So that means I can run 5 miles sometimes without it impacting my knee, very cool. My goal is to be able to run 6 miles again -- that would allow me to run into DC which is just beautiful.

After Monday's 5 mile run I waited two days until I ran again. I felt me left knee during the day, but with tonight's run I think it has reasonably recovered. One more recovery break and then it should be fine.

For the first time since Nora was born I ran more than 4 miles. I created a new route through Ballston and back over the Custis trail. It's 5 miles and the Custis trail is beautiful. The weather was gorgeous today -- high 70s -- and the run was great.

I need to be careful and only slowly increase my mileage. Wednesday I'll run 4 miles again.

42 minutes

Today I signed up for a 5k, so I was extra motivated. I slept only 5,5 hours but ran in 40 minutes.

Today was a day off, so it was easy to find time for a run.

Good run.

Good run.

This was my first run since Milan and Nadia arrived Friday evening. We didn't sleep very well since Nora has a cold -- her first one -- and she woke up several times crying.

I ran 43 minutes, felt strong. In that time I also did my 12 pushups.
