<p>Sunday 30 minutes    Monday - 60 minutes</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Saturday was a very hard workout and my quads were very tight. I tried to stretch my left</p>
<p>quad improperly, and strained my knee. It's swollen and I don't know if I will run on Tuesday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Two ice jobs so far.</p>

<p>Simon, I took 2 university maths and they were pretty difficult. A Masters is a great</p>
<p>accomplishment. Congrats to your son.</p>

<p>My knee was swollen and it was difficult to walk on Tuesday. Normally in my life, I would</p>
<p>have run anyway. The last time I missed a day due to injury was probably 1982. Having</p>
<p>read Reid Coolsaet's blog on  cross training and lack of actual running late last year,</p>
<p>before last months 62 minute half marathon, I was willing to temper my personality.</p>

<p>The knee was better this AM. I learned one thing. Uphill sprints will change the biomechanics</p>
<p>of my body. My normal nature always was to push to the breaking point, which I did many times.</p>
<p>At 63 there is a higher probability of not making it back from a severe injury.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sunday - run 35, walk 70 minutes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>73F yesterday. There is still some ice and snow in the woods.</p>

<p>I think that it was Bill Rodgers who didn't like to cut his mileage too much for his taper.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monday - run 45 minutes, walk 2 hours and 50 minutes total.</p>

<p>In my prime I tapered to 100 miles. I tried cutting to 70 miles and it didn't work. I cannot</p>
<p>imagine running Ed Whitlock's 80 year old mileage in my 60's.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ed Whitlock ran 3:25 at age 80 at Rotterdam.</p>
