THu 9/20 - PM 80 minutes, GMNWR to Walden, plus 25 minutes in the pond

Legs quite stiff to start as I had expected after yesterday. Easy was the only gear available almost the entire run. Waiting for knee soreness to show up, it took an hour today but that partly may be a result of running with minimal knee lift for so long before that. Still, I was able to do strides at the end without major discomfort, the issue remains manageable for now. My thinking is that how Saturday's workout treats it will say a lot more about how bad it truly is. Still working on the quad trying to find whatever's stuck that must be causing the tightness and soreness over the kneecap itself. Warmer today than yesterday, hot almost, but dry which makes it bearable. The warmer temp made the coolness of the pond more noticeable by contrast.
