This week was good in terms of the long run. After getting the abdominal strain right after recovering from my adductor tendonitis I never really got to build the long run back up. This long run was pretty good in terms of vertical, however, I'd still like to get up some peaks in the area. The abdominal/hip issue got better during the week and didn't bother me on the long run. The knee seemed tight at times during the week, but oddly enough really only bugged me doing mundane things like walking around and not while running.
