Beautiful Easter day with my family.  Ate enough to feed a small central American nation.  I did get an easy trail run in above the house though.

Short run today.  Finally went into the sports therapist for a look at this knee.  Been pretty weird, sore on runs but holds up OK, very "loose" feeling and no support when walking.  It locks or over rotates sometimes, but pretty managable unless I go fast.  Well, apparently I have a torn ACL in the right knee.  For six months or so.  Not much they can do with that.  The choice to go in and fix it doesn't look too good, and according to the doc I can just try and run easy on it.

Best thing is a break from running other than some of the easy trail runs that I've been doing.  I'll be thinking this through the next week or so....

A full day with the kids camping at Sand Hollow resevoir.  Boating, Jeeping and hiking.  We have seven lizards in a big water cooler and should have 10 by tomorrow.

Still not sure what to do with the running.  Probably going to take a break and run what I can on trails like I have been.   Surgery is not an option.

Another day at Sand Hollow even busier than yesterday.  Hiked in Zions as well.  Lizard count is at 12.  Nice easy run.

Spent the morning with Rob driving up to the Striders Half and watching the race.  First race I have ever watched and I really enjoyed doing it.
