Ran 8 in the AM with Scott in Highland/Alpine. Was feeling decent, hips still not where they should be, legs felt pretty decent after saturday's run, though the last couple of miles I started to get a pain on the top of the knee cap, seems like it is some quad tendonitis, or something like that. One of the quad muscles that attaches to the outer/left side of the kneecap is very tight/sore, causing the knee pain. Stretching, icing, massage, hope it rehabs quickly. Did 2 1 mile pushes. 6:00 pace and 5:48. Both felt decent, though the strains on muscles on the inner thigh really start to inhibit speed at around a 6 min pace. Ran 6 easy miles with Wes at lunch, knee giving me more problems, had to stop and stretch a few times to try to loosen the knee, almost turned back after the first mile, but still pushed on.
