10 miles! 2 laps around SHP then meandered through the neighborhood to prevent getting too far from home. I actually got to use my garmin for the first time in 2.5 months and it appears to still be working. The knee felt somewhere between good and terrible; I consider that good. Averaged 6:33 for the run. I didn't ice afterwards because, "stress is a good thing, it forces the body to adapt, repair itself, and come back stronger." Interesting article claiming that we might be inhibiting our long-term adaptation by preventing or calming inflammation. The last paragraph is a good one, "Of course, even during heavy training there are times when your body needs help—like after going harder than you’ve ever gone before, when the benefits of an ice bath might outweigh the lost adaptation. Ultimately, the trick is to learn how many recovery aids you really need. That goes double for weekend warriors, who are often more obsessed with recouping than elite athletes are. “Is there too much recovery for an Olympic rower training three times a day?” asks Stellingwerff. “I don’t think so.” But for recreational athletes, recovery (and the fear of overtraining) has been “shoved down their throats,” he says. “If you’re running three times a week, you don’t need to worry about recovery so much. You might be sore and tired, but sore and tired isn’t overtraining.” In fact, the new research suggests, it’s the whole point." I wore the Mirage III's that have been sitting on my shelf for three months for the first time. They are a big improvement over the Mirage I's as they are a bit more cushioned, have a tighter fit and the uppers are more comfortable.
