We have completed 3 weeks of training! JL has been feeling "spongey knees", while Mike has had the normal leg pains of endurance training. Once JL strengthens those thighs, the "sponginess" should go away. Sunday was the normal 30 minute run (~3 miles) with Monday as a rest day. Tuesday was a 30 minute run: JL feeling a little rejuvenated after the rest day, Mike feeling like he had a week off. Wednesday saw an extra rest day (from running) as it was Valentine's Day and the normal zoo of a day. We had a very successful day, none the less. We followed this day with a 30 minute run and Friday rest day. Saturday we ran for 60 minutes (~6 miles). Probably the furthest JL has ever run. No major aches or pains, except about mile 5 JL said her knee cap felt like it moved to the back of her knee (OUCH!). She finished the run and felt fine afterward.
