| | My knees were hurting after my last run. Everytime I would walk up or down the stairs, they'd ache. My wife asked me if I wanted to run Usery this weekend. I said it depends on how my knees feel in the morning. I woke up around 5am and decided to go for it. I said to my wife, "Hey, get up." She got mad at me. But she got up and we left. There were vehicles all over the place. There may have been some sort of activity going on. I saw a RaceLab truck. Or just a bunch of people getting up early to be active. That being said, we were the only ones that parked at the sherrif's station. That's typical.
We stretched out and headed out of the parkin lot. I kept waiting for my wife to run, but she wasn't, so I just started hoping she'd follow. It took her a while to start. So I had a good head start on her. Despite all the vehicles everywhere, there weren't that many road bikers. I mean, there were, but not as many as I would've expected. I remember one guy cruising down the hill. I stepped off to the side and within moments he was passing me by. He must've been going 40mph, easily. A lot of the cyclists would stop at the bottom, turn around and come back up. So I saw a lot of them twice.
I got to the two mile mark and crossed the street. I could see my wife coming. She was probably less than 0.2 miles away. I told her she was almost there as I passed by her, but she had her headphones in and didn't hear me. She just asked how my knees were feeling. I think her overall pace was faster than mine today. We got home and showered just in time for the first session of General Conference.
