I ran three days in a row on March 31 through April 2 with the idea in mind that I would run four miles a day for seven days in a row. But on April 3, which was to be day four, my left knee hurt, and I took a rest day.

Beginning April 7, I ran twice a week for two weeks. I did a little bicycling on a few of the non-running days. Beginning April 20 I have tried running every other day, increasing my distance to six miles for the last four runs. On April 22 I ran five fast miles with my friend R.C. For my last two runs, I tried running only in Zone 2, slow and easy. I did not do any long runs in April.

My legs tolerate running every other day, but seemingly any increase means fatigue and aches. In May I hope to continue running steadily while beginning kayaking and increasing my bicycling.
