This was probably the closest thing to a "normal" run that I have had in a long time. I had virtually no knee problems the entire run (although it has been a little tight since running). I ran out and back to This is the Place Monument through the U of U. I saw the U of U football team doing drills on one of the practice fields--lots of energetic yelling shouting and grunting. I also saw a some officers from Fort Douglas out running and it occurred to me that both are, in a sense, preparing for battle -- as each of us is in our own way. After reading plaques about pioneers, John C. Fremont, Etienne Provot and others at TiTP, I headed back home. On the way I ran into blogger Eric, aka Phoenix, who was out riding his new bike. We chatted for a few minutes about cycling and triathlons and the possible benefit of doing something other than running all the time. A few minutes later I ran into Adam RW as I was coming down the Legacy Bridge stairs. I congratulated him on his TOU half and wished him well for the full marathon. So it was a sociable run.
