| 9:30 a.m. run with Tina from Tooele to Stansbury High School. 8 miles in 1:05:54, 8:14 AP. Slow last mile. Left knee still not feeling too great, but a good run anyway. Clear and sunny, but cold compared to yesterday and a bit breezy. Where was the rain or snow we were supposed to get? The weather dudes missed it a bit, I'd say. |
