13 mi long run at avg 8:47 mpm on the Crews, Craig, Holly Brook, Mtn View, Kohls route. Felt good today. Some intermittent mild ache in the left foot and mild pain in the left SI/IT area. Foot hurt some after and the posterior tendon around my left knee hurt after I drove Katie to work. Felt very strong the whole run. Could have run more miles easily. The weather was yucky. Kinda rainy and blustery winds at times. Streets very damp. I noticed to today that on the left side I tend to not let the joints hinge on the foot strike and through the stride. It produces the effect of "pole vaulting" over the left leg. Concentrating on letting the ankle and knee hinge freely seems to take the pressure off the hip and reduce the pain in the foot and SI/IT area. Woke on my own at 04:50 hours. Went to bed at 21:30 hours the night before.
