PM- Water main broke today so there were no showers for a while at the gym. They got it fixed mid afternoon, so went running then with Fedor and Aaron. 10 miles. One bad part was the water was technically restored, but not the hot water. Let's just say the shower was very brief and invigorating.

AM- went to PM to watch my friends run the PM races I've done most years. I ran almost all the trails in the park in the process, even the little out-n-backs, though realized I missed half the lake loop. Oh well. It was chilly and I generally felt good. Longest run by an hour in 5 months. Finished with 17.5 miles and 2300 ft climbing in 2:45 or so.

I plan to stabilize my mileage between 75-80 for a month or so, hoping to get my knee better. I keep doing my therapy multiple times per week- it's improving, but still not great.
