Today's 5-mile training run was faster than expected. Since the left knee has been feeling better, I have been running around a 7:40/mi pace. I cut that down by 22 sec/mi today. I felt great getting out there and throughout the run. Breathing was great, fitness was great, and body health felt really good. This run was extremely useful to increase my confidence going into Saturday's mini marathon. We'll run a short three tomorrow and maybe one on Friday. I feel well-prepared.
