Recovery 5 miles

Today's training: 5.05 miles nbrhd loop, 51:12 (10:10 min/mi), 139 bpm avg/154 max/2:30 abov 150

Took it very easy today to rest up the knee, walking lots of downhills and whenever there was a hint of a problem. There were only a couple of ever-so-slight tweaks of the knee and it got very slightly swollen (barely puffy) by the end. I think I'll be fine.

The watch distance is obviously well off now in distance now (3% high) , so it looks I should recalibrate at the track tomorrow before the race on Sunday. The only real value I see in the foot pod for the race is in the first half mile. I usually start out, look at my watch and see I'm going too fast. I could probably just use a guy to yell, "hey, you're running too fast!"

With the correct distance, 4.90 miles, my pace was

Last 4.9-mile recovery runs: 48:26/142, 50:14/144, 49:11/142, 51:12/139
