32 miles today. maybe running isn't the best recovery activity, physically, but it sure is good mentally, and spiritually, too, if you're into that.

played around with gearing and cadences to see what i could do about my speed. i didn't really go any faster than last thursday, when i did the same distance via a different route. i felt faster, and this may actually be a tougher route. we'll see when i check the profile on sunday (if i remember to check it, or care to check it).

i'm not icing my knee today. i injured it right off the bat when i got my bike, or maybe i re-injured it, which seems more likely. since then i've iced after every ride. back then i had discomfort, if not pain, after each ride, but that hasn't been the case for a long time.

i suppose preventative icing is not a bad idea, but it's a time-eater.
