I started wearing my knee brace during my runs and it does seem to be helping.? Looks like Ill have an even awesomer tan line this summer.? I didnt wear it in the mini on Saturday, and I wont wear it in races, but I seem to have suffered no ill effects thankfully.? Training hours increased a bit this week and will increase again in week 3 before a regular low volume week every 4th week as part of my monthly cycle.? Week two offered the exact same daily training regiment in order to get me into the habit of busting some long days out.? 2 hour training days are becoming the norm, sleep becoming much more desirable and the need to keep up and excellent diet absolutely critical to give me the energy for workouts, as well as help me recover immediately afterwards.? No breaks after the mini, and no breaks for the Derby this weekend.? Scheduling early morning workouts around summertime activites is going to become more common.?
