This is the first time I recall hypoglycemia injuring my legs. Both knees feel bruised. The left, just below and to the outside of the kneecap, has a little functional damage. I found a gait this morning, somewhere between 10 and 10:30 a mile, that felt comfortable and supportable, and ran the final four minutes of each five to complete the Levy Loop in 22:00, with splits of 11:33 and 10:27. I ran for a total of 16:23. My knee hurt as I ran from the jump, but not after the first couple of minutes. It hurts when I walk. I am on an ibuprofen-and-ice regimen.
I was pleased to discover such limited backlash, particularly after a painful, 8 a.m. walk to the bathroom, and to have been exempt from any hint of fatigue. Perhaps this will catalyze a more indefatigable pace for my easy days.
