5:00 a.m.  45 minutes at the gym with Sharon.  25 minutes on light reps upper body 3 x 15 x 6 machines, then 20 minutes elliptical.

6:15 p.m.  5 miles on the Westland route to USU extension and home via Main and Vine.  45:06, 9:01 AP.  Felt surprisingly strong tonight, which is strange because my knee has been bugging me all day, even on the elliptical this morning.  Felt great after 1.5 miles or so tonight.
