Oct. 24-30

Monday, Oct. 24
Wooster Sq.: 1mi; 10min (Adrenaline)
I was eager to get this run underway, but it didn't feel all that great. Definitely some soreness from yesterday. Strength and core.

Tuesday, Oct. 25
AM: Third prolotherapy session with Dr. Boyer. Not as bad as the first session, but not as good as the second--somewhere in between. The concentration of the solution injected into the MCL and coronary ligaments was 12.5% for the first two sessions. We decided to bump it up to 18% today, because I had very little discomfort after the second session. This could explain why today's session wasn't as pleasant as the second.
PM: East Rock: ~2mi (Minimus Trail)
After work, I biked out to East Rock and then hiked up to the summit and down the Giant Steps Trail. GPS showed 1.1mi to the summit. Probably should have kept to the bike, as I had some soreness on the downhills. Core.

Wooster Sq.: 1mi; 11min (Minimus Trail)
Didn't decide to do this run until the walk home from work. Two laps on the path and one on the road. The road lap is about 0.4mi. Felt fine but decided not to push behind three laps given yesterday's procedure. Knee soreness precluded any kind of strength exercises afterward. Some core at home.

AM: East Rock: 2mi; 23min (Minimus Trail)
Dark, rainy morning. Kept to the flat trails and came back on English. Slight ache on top of left foot. Tight right hip flexor. Felt fine otherwise, I guess. Knee still sore, so no strength exercises again. Not feeling too inspired after this one.
PM: Core.

Friday, Oct. 28
AM: Appointment with Dr. Zeitler.
PM: Wilbur Cross H.S. track: 2.5mi; 25min (Adrenaline)
Biked over. Felt pretty good. Did some strength exercises on the football field post-run.

Saturday, Oct. 29
Branford Trolley Trail: 1mi; 14min (Minimus Trail)
Felt ready to roll but knee was tight so decided not to push it beyond the railroad tracks. Core.

Sunday, Oct. 30
Treadmill: 1.8mi; 20min (Adrenaline)
Not too thrilled about the treadmill, but felt pretty good actually. Only some slight discomfort in the front of my knee. Probably going to keep next week's running to 20-25min per outing, as my knee protests a bit if I try to go any longer. Strength stuff post-run.
