Interesting week. I set a new PR for 1 mile at 9'41" on Thursday. I have tried to maintain the 2 miles a day, but alternate between keeping a steady pace the whole time, and trying for PR in the first mile and cruising the second. Monday I needed a recovery day. Friday night I had a hard time sleeping because my knees were sore. My plan Saturday was to try for 10K distance at a nice leisurely pace, but at about 1.5 miles I was feeling very light headed and weak. Decided to hit the 5K turnaround and walked a bit to try and recover. Picked it up again and felt like I might collapse, so I stopped the run and walked the 1.5 miles home (not included in my stats) After I got home I could not get warm and had some intestinal issues. So I am thinking the achy knees and weakness were more signs of a mild illness/bug than from just exertion. Taking a rest day today just to be sure.

Overall I am rather pleased with my progress thus far. Since switching to the SuperFeet I have not seen any negative effects. In fact my feet and legs feel great both during and after the runs. I will probably try switching to a higher arch when we get back from Tahoe the week of 2/15.
