Trails!

Tabernacle - Temple - USU - Hillcrest Elem - 

Leg was feeling much better today.  Kept the pace slowish to not overdo it.  Its a bit sore now but mostly from sitting in a chair all day at work.  I need to get up and move around more...

Tabernacle to Nearly Second Dam via Old Main and upper canal trail.

At least the upper canal trail is clear of snow and ice!  River Trail is not safe.  Need traction definetly!  The bummer deal was my knee started to hurt again for the last 3 miles.

Trail run with Joe and Mike - 

BST + 2 laps of Upper Canal Trail.  Kept things slow and flat as much as possible to save the knee.  It was a bit sore but not too bad.  It did tighten up pretty good on the drive home though.  So, not much better, but not any worse.  It was great though to run on DIRT today!  Great run.

Long Run - 

Today I ran a mix of "Island Canal Trail" and "Upper Canal Trail" and "BST".  10 miles of as much flat trail as possible.  My leg felt fine while I on the flat stuff but during the climbs my knee hurt.  Steep = bad.  I was ready to bail at mile 10,13,16 but felt good enough to keep going until 20.  Timed it nicely as it is now snowing hard.

This week was a lot of miles (relatively) but the climbing was very minimal.  Opposite what I want, but at least I can run with no pain (on the flats).  I will continue to ice and see if it heals up.
