My legs did feel a bit better today than hey have this week. I did another out oand back past mini gu corner. Nice temps around 60 with a little bit of a breeze which gave a nice cooling affect with the sweat buildup. Should be nicer weather the rest of the week.

Today I did the golf course loop, seem to have a slight injury inside left leg muscle above the knee. I was able to run ok just a bit sore and stiff afterwards. Needless tosay I did use the ice today after the work out. I will have to keep an eye on it and hope it wont hinder my running the marathon in a few weeks. Just bad timing again I guess. I spent 25 min on the bowflex working on my upper body and did some crunches.

Thought I would try a run today and see if the leg will hold out. I have problem walking, no pain, things did feel good for about 4 miles and then the discomfort came back, I can't figure this out. No pain walking and there is no swelling. I guess it will need more rest, oh well this to shall pass.

Nice to have a day off from work and get in a early morn run. I did the river bottoms trail, the river was running high. I seen Patrick and Kent they looked good and fit as ever. I kept things kind of easy, not really pushing any miles as my legs are still a bit whack from sat long run. They are feeling good though, a few more weeks and it will bw time for Utah Valley Marathon.
