This was a fractured week. I got my 4 miles in on Monday, but then my left knee felt weird. Then I traveled to Arlington, where the snow is still high and the trails covered in ice and snow and, hence, unsafe for running. I could have brought my Yak-Traks, but given the uncertainty surrounding my knee, I took two days off hoping to get back on-track later in the work week. Thursday and Friday I got my 6 and 3 milers in, with no apparent discomfort to the knee (knock on wood).
Work has been insane, and running had been my salvation. The time I spend running provides me with a great sense of accomplishment, peacefulness and comfort. I am really looking forward to this weekend's long run, as the temperatures look to be back to normal for this time of year in Virginia (maybe nearing 50!). Blood sugars have been running fine, and I am glad that most of the Valentine's Day cookies and candies are nearly gone.
This is a great time of year to get outdoors and get to your running. The promise of Spring will be with you in each passing mile, and the early birds will greet you with their warbles and whistles. Enjoy the trails and stay safe.
