It's 30 seconds a mile, Liz. You made a good decision.

The knee has been fine - thanks for asking. While I was still in Chicago, I went for a very gentle jog along Lakeshore Drive, about 4 days after the race. After a mile or so the knee started hurting again, so I packed it away for a few weeks. When I eventually got it out again, it seemed to have repaired itself, and (touch wood) have had no trouble since then.

I never really found out what it was. Just recently I was looking through my training for Chicago and realised that I'd missed out quite a lot of long runs. I think it was just a reflection of that. Undertraining.

How's your own running going? Whereabouts in the US are you? Any races on the horizon? Or closer than that?
