#25 – 50 runs in 100 days – Hardcore edition
#132 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

Last weekend I ran my last race, a ultra race but had to threw in the towel due to pain in my left knee. It was a tough race, I ran it last year and it was not too gooey and wet. This was my very first DNF (Did Not Finish).

Sunday the pain was gone but I took it easy this week. I had ran 35K and went to yoga Tuesday and then lifted weights twice and have done some foam rolling.

So this afternoon it was time to head out for a shorter run to test my knee. I was not worried but you never know.

Lately my pace have been below 6 min/k, part of me has not accepted this yet. I have Always considered myself as a slower runner but have been told to not use those words anymore. It is such a joy when I feel that I have fast legs and I can continue running around 5.30 min/k on shorter runs.

And no pain in my left knee. It felt good today.

At the end there was some upwind and some drizzle.
