MDay -8 -- Sat. Sept. 12

Tentative run, but turned out okay. Late morning, headed out aiming for 6-8, taking it easy (goal was more or less MPace). GeoHannum and down to Hamilton, then down Bay and along to Metacomet, across to the lake, then left onto Federal briefly before going off on to the dirt road on the right. Stop clock a bit and run trails briefly, but the critical connecting path is still under water, so loop back and start clock on rejoining Federal. Along and up the hill to 9, then pretty much directly home, stopping the clock at the super market:

Time: 58:31
Distance: 7.51 miles (plus untimed half mile or so on trails)
Pace: 7:47s

Comments: felt fab at first, then at the end of the first downhill (after a half-mile or so) I could feel the spot above the knee...but then it went away as soon as I hit the flat. Felt good at the end, if tired later. Hoping it will stay fixed, and planning to do the final week as per the schedule.
