| Low key day. Just stretches and PT. I have to admit the 50K CC Ski Race was very exciting. I'm not a die hard fan of the winter Olympics but that finish and just the fact that there were still 15 in it with 5K to go was pretty amazing. | |

| Commute walk in 2.5 mi.
Knee hurt, more of an ache than anything.
3 more weeks from today until I find out anything new...
I did have a Chad and Josh sighting. It was more a "hearing", I heard the sonic boom as they flew past moving at what had to have been sub-5:30 pace.

| My wife convinced me to try a short run. My hip hasn't hurt for awhile and though my knee continues to bug me, when hasn't it?
Sandra ran to SH while I loaded up the girls and drove there. After her second loop we joined her for a loop+. Of course my knee hurt but we both think that was our first run together as a family of four. The weather was perfect and despite the 3-4 in of snow yesterday it was warm and the road was clear and dry.
