January-end | 6 months to race day

Starting the training in earnest (finally!) after a month of gallivanting in Spain and getting my fill of local delicacies and wines. 
All is fine save for a nagging right knee pain when going uphill. No muscle stiffness and anything else showing a sign of low fitness. I guess the rowing machine sessions helped.

I guess I got lucky to get two mornings in the same week without rain. I might not be that lucky next time (I'll try to go for another run on Monday or Tuesday next week).

Will be on site (SF) starting Feb 12th to keep training breathing the Pacific breeze.
