6 Miles with Sasha and Jeff at 6:00am on the Provo river trail. We endud up a little faster today averaging 7:10 pace overall with second have sub 7:00 average. The knee was a little bit stiffer than normal for the first mile but them seemed to loosen up after awhile. Overall pleased with progress still and it really feels good to be running 6 miles a day and back with Sasha and Jeff again.

6 miles from BYU campus to Provo River Trail with BYU cadets. 1st mile at 8:09 and then last 5 miles in 35:13 so average pace of 7:13 or so. Knee felt better today than yesterday. legs ok with some tiredness towards the end of the run. A beautiful morning with temperature at 48 degrees. I wish every morning was just like that. I think 48-52 degrees is perfect running weather.

Ran 8 miles today at an average pace of 7:18. First mile was 8:10 and then averaged 7:10 pace for the lsat 7 miles. This included a couple of big hills as well. Funny thing is I can feel the knee more on the uphill than the downhill. It must be something with how the up hill effects the stride or impact. Overall knee felt decent and no issues afterwards throughout he day. So an 8 mile run under the belt and not too bad. I'm not sure if my knee will ever be 100% again but at least I know I can live with it if it does not get any worse.
