The slowdown -- ups and downs

After a year of PW's (opposite of PR's) I had a really good 7 1/2 miles mostly uphill on Saturday, followed by a terribly swollen knee. All of a sudden slow wasn't so bad, but not running, crap! Sunday it was gone (the swelling not the knee) and I went from layoff panic to an easy 8 1/2. I should have rested but I had to know. The world is back in order and slower seems OK now.

But next year a new training plan and new hope.
