Decided I'd better try a longer run since I've got SGM in 3 weeks. I didn't know if the knee would hold up but figured I'd find out. I started out around 8:35 pace and picked it up slightly each mile and averaged 8:17 for the first 7 miles. Then I picked it up a little more and averaged 7:37 for the last 8 miles. The last 4 miles I averaged 7:25 pace and counted those as marathon pace since I'll be lucky if I can keep that pace in the upcoming marathon. My knee was slightly sore again from the start but I didn't notice anything during the last few miles. Hopefully I can get in a 20 miler next week.

Nice job. I know it's tough with the knee issue. I will Definitely pray that it holds up for you. I hope you get something. My boss has struck two 6 point elk and traced each one for 10 hours but could find either one. He's the best hunter I know and he's sick over it. He's hunting around Henderson.
