AM: 8 x 3:00 on/1:00 off plus hard mile, 11 miles

P Murphy and I met at my place and ran a Beach Drive fartlek. I didn't feel great, but my knee seemed under control. Patrick kept the workout at six reps, and after interval #8, I was pretty close to the mile marker near the Meadowbrook stables. I decided then and there to finish the workout with a fast mile, trying to keep the same pace as the rest of the workout (~10k pace). I finished smoothly with a 4:58, running close to even splits and a little faster than I what I thought I had been running.

Good stuff: after a shaky week because of my knee, it felt good to nail a full workout. Some of my GRC teammates would say that "I'm winning the war" with my knee. I'd definitely say my knee is less a war and more a nuisance. If this were a "war," my knee would be Grenada.
