To track at THS and back.  1/2 mi. each way plus 8 easy laps.  Knee feeling quite a bit stronger tonight, but I was on a pretty soft surface.

Race: THS Track "Fund Run" (3.1 Miles) 00:23:12

9:00 a.m.  Decided to run the THS Track 5K "Fund"Run.  Fund raiser to support the Tooele High School track club.  They didn't have numbers and just taped our names on our shirts. It was windy, so I lost my tag.  Ran 23:12, 7:34 AP, being very careful on the steeper downhill middle mile.  Splits:  7:36, 7:23, 7:45.  Tina ran 21:10 or something.  2nd place OA in the Women.  Not bad for 50 years old, I'd say.  Then we ran back up to my truck for another 3.1 miles uphill, very easy.  Very windy morning.  Knee is responding pretty well.  Will move up to 5 days running next week to see how I do.

10:30 a.m.  to the gym.  3 x 15 x 6 machines light weight upper body reps.  Then 1 TM progression mile, 9:50 to 8:00.
