Beautiful day!  My knee didn't hurt for almost a mile and a half.  That's a record, I think.  Despite the dull pain, it felt good to be out there.  I did the loop around Liberty Park (just once), which works out to about 5 miles in about 43 slow minutes.  Then I ran a mile on the treadmill in about 8:30.  I think the treadmill, despite the softer surface, hurts my knee a little more.  Of course, it could have just been because it was the last mile of 6. 

Weight 170.

Has anyone else had trouble getting this reporting window to work.  It works for me a little less than half the time since the new editing tools were added.  Anyway, I was just wondering if I'm the only one having trouble.

Ran outside.  A little knee pain but not too bad.  Ran about 9 minute miles - pretty slow.

Slow treadmill miles.  Not bad.  My knee felt a little sore but mostly alright.  Total time was a slow 53:40 or 8:56 per mile.  I actually started very slow and worked my way up to 8:00 minute mile pace.  Yesterday, I flat out gave up.  It was the first day in a long time that I didn't run because I felt blah.  Injuries are one thing but blah days should still be running days.  I ran around the County Building parking lot and just headed back.  I just need to get more sleep and get excited about the running again, now that my leg is feeling a little better.

Weight 171 (goal 160) - Valentines Day junk did me in.

I haven't run for a couple of days.  Work has been very busy and I've had to take care of a bunch of things during my lunch hour that has screwed up my workouts.

I've completely lost my momentum.  I almost have to start over from scratch.  Today I have to run another errand that I committed to but then things should get better.

Urgh.

Didn't have much time.  My knee felt fine.  I put it to the test and after two very slow miles I ran a 6:30 third mile.  It went well.  My total time was a slow 33:45.  It was good.  I hope to get back into the swing of things over the next two weeks, building back up to where I was.

I just signed up for the Wasatch Steeplechase on June 23rd.  It is a crazy race up city creek.  Very fun.  I invite everyone to join me.
