Easy 4.2 miles this morning with 2 indoors on BYU track and then 2 outdoors on icy snowy roads. Overall sub 8:00 average and felt ok. The first mile I was a bit worried as the knee hurt a little more than usual but it slowly got a little better, at least better to the point that I could ignore it. Going for around 4 miles a day this week and will see how things go. After waking up to 7 inches of snow in my driveway this morning I really was wishing winter would truly depart for good this year already.

5 miles today along the provo river trail. Averaged under 7:45 pace with last couple miles at 7:00 pace. Overall not a bad day today. Extremely busy this week but will try and get most of my miles in one way or another.

2 miles on BYU indoor track with alternating fast and slow laps. Fast laps at about 6:00 pace and slow laps about 8:00 pace. Felt decent just didn't have time to get more miles in. Probably try and run 5 miles tomorrow again.

4 miles today between 7:00 and 7:30 pace. Once the knee got warmed up things felt pretty decent. May move up to 5 miles a day in the next week or so if things are going well.
