Some adjustment required

After work, I did a little run, about 6 miles, at a relaxed pace. Now that I have an actual race result, I get to pull out Daniels' VDOT tables, and know how fast I'm supposed to be running for everything I do. As it turns out, I should be right about where I thought. I do have to make one change, though.

I'm having a little issue in my knee. Nothing major, at least not yet, just some niggling irritation below the kneecap. I can feel it on the bike and when I'm running. Luckily, I've been through this before, so I know what's wrong, and how to fix it. I've switched to doing a bunch of my rides on my road bike in the last week, and because of the difference in geometry, I need to raise the seat about 5mm. That will clear things up in no time. Better to get this corrected now before I miss any time or miles with a bum leg. Give me an Allen key and thirty seconds, and everything will be right with the world (or at least that part of it that is the corner of the basement where my trainer lives).

Run: 6 miles @ 7.2 mph
