Nice day, from PV part way up Sandy Brook with Rhonda.
One day after the Billygoat I am feeling pretty good. I was a bit stiff this morning, but some rolling and a little hot tub ironed it out, and I felt pretty fine. Not particularly tired, and not particularly sore. So that is pretty positive.
On another injury front, I hurt my left knee doing weighted lunges back in my crossfit days in 2011, and it persisted and persisted. Not disabling, but damned annoying, pain right at the top of the kneecap on going downstairs, downhill, running, etc. In the last several months I've done a lot of work on my quads, rolling and stretching, and of course virtually no running, and between those, it seems to have gotten pretty much completely better. Nice to have something positive like that.
I was surprised to see Peter, because I hadn't thought he was coming. We were both planning on walking, and since we were chatting at the start, it seemed reasonable to continue on togethter. What a fine time, and very instructive. I suspect I may walk a little faster than Peter, but once the maps come out, I struggle to keep up. Very precise navigation, and Peter was ticking off useful features along the way that I certainly would have missed, just because it takes me longer to proces things. Certainly no mistakes, and the GPS track confirms the only place we slowed down, climbing the hill in the green the last 100M before 15. Of course, we got dusted off on the long trail run in through 22, 23 and 24, but overall a very fine result and a nice day in the woods.

Part of the way around the block, looking for some essential 2016 BG training, walking in the rain. It was only drizzling when I went out, but heavier by the time I got to the bottom, and when Rhonda and Jess drove by on their way back from a yoga outing, I accepted their transportation offer.
Training session with Eric. Slow progress, but I always feel better after one of these sessions.

With Rhonda along the bike path in the Collinsville environs. She was planning on 5 miles, and I pretty much go along with the program. A little gray and cold, but no rain.

This felt hard, and a little stressful on my back.
