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.
