Easy two hours. Legs feel absolutely fine, no fatigue.  Breathing was a little funky again for the first hour but seemed to resolve.  Knee feels absolutely fine going up, flat, and mellow downhills, but any steep downhill is painful, classic ITB pain.  Improving everyday though, two more ART/ASTYM sessions scheduled before the race. Still hopeful for a Big Horn start on Friday, may be a short race, but at least at this point I am feeling like I could give it a go...I wouldn't hesitate to pull out if my knee gets out of control though, no sense blowing a whole summer and its too late to get my money back anyway so I might as well try and get my $180.00 worth of aid station offerings.

Hope it all works out. You can eat $180 for sure.

You go this. But be smART about it bro! Lot's o' good trail runs left in those pain makers... You will have a great time and dominate as usual..

Bummer. Hope things look up this week. Have you ever thought of running with trekking poles? I know they are dorky, but would help with the downhills :)

If it starts hurting load up your pockets and pack at the aid stations. Make it worth the trip. Wish I was there.
