My knee still has some minor swelling but not as bad as it was a few weeks ago. The thing w/the Baker cyst is that it never goes away. As far as I know anyway. So, it's still swollen but not painful.
2 days until Mt Washington and I'm ready to get my ars kicked. I was ready but now I'm feeling like I gained some serious weight. Extra tonnage on the hill climb is a killer. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping to PR but the weather looks wet which means the dirt section of the road will be extra slick. Hopefully the wind isn't too bad....but it is what it is.
My times running my hill repeats improved significantly when compared to my repeats in previous years. I'm also happy that they improved steadily as I was doing them this year. Hope I didn't use it all in training. I wish I had one or two more weeks to run a few more repeats.

In other news, my weekly mileage has dropped way off.

w/e
6/14 - 19.5
6/7 - 28.5
5/31 - 27.9
5/24 - 33.3
Looks like maintenance mileage, doesn't it? Work has really been killing me lately and I don't see it letting up at all.
After the race on Sat and some time off, I think it'll be time to assess what I want to do. I was thinking about jumping into a tri (sprint) but that doesn't look plausible. My bike is in horrid condition and I haven't been swimming at all.
The new decade seems to have sapped my motivation.
Nice.
Sorry I have neglected all of your blogs lately. I'll try to be a better virtual commenter.
Cheers

Good luck! I have been so wrapped up in my marathon that I didn't realize your race was also Saturday. Maybe this will be The Year of Dan's P.R's!
