Mon 4/12 - PM 65 minutes easy

Area 51. Right knee soreness didn't go away as I had hoped it might. More pain with more flexion, consistent with something being stuck and/or inflamed further up in the quad area I'd guess. Definitely something that was brought to the fore, if not directly caused, by yesterday's hilly race, and more specifically the long downhill stretch in that race. I'm also wondering if the short steep downhills at Elm Bank last Wednesday weren't so good for it--there were only four of them but they sure felt awkward. Lack of stretching lately not helping matters any either. Did some direct pressure on the lateral quad area afterward, helped somewhat but who knows what it will feel like tomorrow. Hopefully just a blip overall. Other than that drama a pleasant enough recovery run in pleasant enough conditions, maybe a bit on the cool side but I'm not complaining.
