| | I ran 2 loops today. My knee seemed to behave. So that's good. Day 1 of starting my diet again. Gained almost everything back over the holidays that I lost last year. So that's bad.

| | I was running down the street when my neighbor pulled up behind me and yelled out the window, and this is a direct quote, "Looking good, Burt! You got those calf implants going." I was wearing my saggy shorts, so I was pulling them up the entire time. I made one loop and had to stop for traffic. Once I started running again my knee started to hurt, so I stopped. I walked the rest of the way home.

| | I finally ran again with Mike. And Glen. Mike said he would pick me up at 6:15am, but he got here at 6:00am, and I was still on the toilet. I got ready and was out the door by 6:12am. We picked up Glen and headed out to Usery. On the way there we had to stop as at least 9 horses were crossing the road, including some young'uns. We stretched out and Glen and I started running with Mike following us shortly thereafter. Glen and I ran together for about the first quarter mile. Then he started to pull ahead. Mike was right behind me so I was a an Oreo. But since I'm fat, I was a Double Stuff Oreo®. Speaking of behing fat, I did start my diet again this week on Tuesday, and I've already lost 8 lbs. Weird. Anyway, I was worried about my knee, although it felt fine, so I kept it nice and slow. A runner passed me at the 2.2 mile point. The his buddy passed me at the 3.1 mile point. I had told myself that I was going to play it safe and turn around at the 3.1 mile point, but after being passed by another runner, I decided to run a little further. I texted Mike to let him know, took a quick tinkle, and headed back down. Glen caught me with just under two miles to go. That means he ran a mile more than I did, and beat me by 5 minutes. I finished before Mike by about a minute. Well, I just looked at Strava and it was precisely 31 seconds. My knee was good, but there was one moment right around 1.2 miles to go, where I thought it might start to hurt. But it behaved. It was a nice run. Not too cold either.
