| Mmmm, nothing like 15 hours of sleep! I could have slept in longer, but I wanted to get up and have breakfast with Nic, Amber and Linnea and get started on the day's activities.
RHR was at 2 a.m., between my 7.5-hour "nap" and my 7.5-hour night's sleep. 23 beats during the first 30 seconds, then 19 during the second thirty seconds, including 3-4 skipped beats.
My leg muscles are quite sore today. My left knee is somewhat sore, too, so it's obviously not totally better. |

| Running - Trail / Grass (trail) 3:15:00 [2]* 15.0 mi (13:00 / mi) +1010m 6:41 / km | |
| ahr:146 max:165 slept:0.0 shoes: Brooks Trance 5 - 1 |
| Running (2:59 minus stops, about an hour break, then 35 min. minus stops) while putting out course markings for the NWTR event at Squak Mtn. Miraculously, my left knee felt fine for all but a very few moments of discomfort or mild pain. Later in the day, it hurt a bit during routine activities. Surprisingly, my right knee was the one that hurt substantially toward the end of the running. It was sore on the lateral protuberance of bone, just at the top of the gastroc. muscle. My left knee was slightly sore in the same place, which I would have taken as a sign of aggravation of my injury, if not for the fact that the right leg hurt so much more in the same place. |

| There's a bit of discomfort behind my left knee today. It only actually hurt once or twice, and then very briefly and mildly.
My back is sore from the hard kayak seat, and my pectoral muscles are sore from paddling, perhaps from the higher arm position due to sitting lower in the water. |

| slept:10.0 (sick) |
| It's nice to get a really good night's sleep. My cold symptoms were pretty unpleasant when I got up, especially my sore throat, but they moderated throughout the day.
My left knee feels quite good (but not perfect) today, which is surprising after the dozen+ hours I spent on my feet yesterday. I hope this means I'll be able to start running soon. |
