Slippery Strides
I didn't realize it was raining this morning while I was on my bike (okay, it was drizzling) but I felt it later, when I was running. I like running in overcast/rainy weather, so this was fine with me! I ran about 45 minutes and then did some strides on the turf, which felt awesome. My knee felt better than it has during the run, but toward the end (last 10 minutes or so) I felt like my stride was going back to how it was when I was first injured (i.e. lopsided and dragging my left leg a bit.) I wasn't sure if I should even attempt the strides, but actually I had no pain at all doing them and I was able to open my stride up more than I remember being able to in a long time. (Kudos to Dr. Brady for that.) The feeling of going fast(er) made me even more excited to get back to doing track workouts, but I know that's still a ways off.
I am skipping my afternoon seminar today to meet up with the fam for our little Rosh Hashana celebration. That means lots of eating and no second work out, but I wouldn't trade the time with them for anything! Especially since my grandmother is such a good cook...and baker....

Happy holiday! I'm fascinated with how Dr. Brady is supposedly "fixing" you. If he knows what he's doing and it works, that'll be really awesome. Maybe he'll change your stride so much that you'll be able to run much faster times with the same effort!

Well, that's my secret goal anyway. We'll see. Good luck in your race, you know we'll all be waiting to hear!
