After not running any runs over 4 miles last week, I decided to test it for 5 miles this morning. I haven't been able to make 5 without knee pain the past 3 weeks. I felt fine all the way today. 8:37 AP

I'm signed up for St George Marathon in 4 weeks and haven't done a run over 7 miles in the past 5 weeks when I did a 17 miler. Last year I had done four 20 milers by next week. I guess typically next week would be my last long run before starting a taper. This year I have nothing to taper from. I decided to try for 15 miles this morning and see if my knee would hold up. I made it to 5 miles and my knee felt like it was going to act up again. I didn't want to risk having to walk too far home so I turned around there. By the time I made it home [at 10 miles] it felt the same but I decided against running any farther today. 8:29 ave pace with last mile in 7:41.
