Overall a great weekend. I was a little concerned about today. I'd gone from planning a 3X5K to a progression run to nothing for today. This marks both my longest run and longest week in almost a full year. My knee is still bugging me some but not as bad as it had been. The race tweeked something but overall I'm still happy with my progress, enough so that I'm going to register for both the TOU 1/2 and Full this week... As far as today's run ended up going. About 1.5 mi into it I heard someone coming up behind me. Turned about to see Josh at about mile 8 of his 20-miler. I ended up picking it up a little and he ended up slowing it down a little so we could run together. I bagged my initial run plan and just went with him. We had a great conversation and I was happy to have the company, it really made the run fly by. Partly because I ended up going a little faster than I would have otherwise and partly because the conversation distracted me from the miles. The only caveat was that I hit mile 14 (his 20) down on 9th E so I had to run all my last 4 miles weaving up to 22nd... However, the ending uphill was well worth the company. Avg. 7:40
In the PM I took advantage of the new found trail knowledge Cody had given me a couple weeks ago and took my family on a hike to Donut Falls.
