Dropje woke up at 6.30 am today and due to a busy social schedule I decided to go for a morning run.

I'm glad that I put in the 4 miles, but running in the morning does have its drawbacks. Most of all, since I just woke up my legs don't feel as great, and after this run I actually felt my left knee again (no pain, but I felt it). Also, I had to take a real break halfway. Anyway, Saturday is my next run and tonight and tomorrow night are now free for social events.

Didn't record my time since I wanted to run slowly.

Almost fifty years ago, on a beautiful day in November 1962, a few “early Dutch settlers” founded The Holland America Club of the Pacific Northwest. The word is out, its official, the HAC will turn 50 in November, and you are invited to celebrate this important milestone of Dutch American Heritage in the Pacific Northwest.

Had a great run. Monday a week ago I ran 5 miles, and I felt that in my left knee on Thursday, if only a little bit. I had calculated that the past weekend, when we visited New Jersey, would make a nice recovery period and indeed it did -- I didn't feel my left knee at all. So that means I can run 5 miles sometimes without it impacting my knee, very cool. My goal is to be able to run 6 miles again -- that would allow me to run into DC which is just beautiful.
