2000 km of Training Week 4: 1775.2 to go

Sun: Bike 33K
Mon: 12.3/55:59/4:33/Zoom XC A good run, and while my knee bothered me a bit with walking up and down stairs, it seems to be ok when I run.
Tue: Rest - KZ Xmas party!
Wed: Rest - Nasty tequila hangover...
Thu: 13.9/1:05:30/4:43/Evo My knee felt a little off about 5K into this, and was going to bag it and take the train partway, but then it felt ok and I was able to even add a little extra on.
Fri: Bike 33K
Sat: 16.5/1:14:30/4:31/Trek & BF Went out with the intention of doing a 3KX6 interval workout, and doing a little extra for a total of 20k total. Got into the first fast interval, and felt wasted after 2K, and that's because I was going much faster than the 4:00 pace I planned on. I sort of gave up, but then got back into it and still finished the 3K in under 12:00. But then got another 2K into the next slow interval, and felt the same blister area I had gotten on my right foot the last time I wore the Treks, despite wearing nice thin socks this time. I got frustrated and decided just to take off my shoes for the last 5-6K since it was a beautiful sunny day anyway. It worked out great, and I was still able to keep a sub 5:00 pace for the rest of the run. So those shoes are out of my rotation and may only be used for casual use, which is disappointing. My Evos also have big holes in the right shoe, and the super glue repair I did seemed to fail. Will try sewing them, but perhaps have to pick up a pair of the Neos? Really want to hold off on spending cash for running gear for a while but...

Total Mileage: 42.7 Was planning on backing off this month, but not quite this much. Want to get up to the 60-70K range, but may be tough with Xmas this week, maybe all for the best for my knee...
