My knee is still sore, but runnable.  Downhills made it hurt the most.  I will start taking the mileage back up tomorrow, but may wait until next week for any hard efforts.  I just don't want any permanent damage.  

Grandma's offered me hotel, race entry, elite bottles, and meal money.  Sounds like a good deal.  Is 12 weeks sufficient time to get in marathon shape?  The last two weeks have been a little rough.  I've had good long efforts, but have been inconsistent in volume.  I don't feel that I'm too far out of fitness, though.  As long as my body cooperates.   Thoughts?

I woke up and realized my fridge and freezer had been off all night long. After cleaned melted ice cream out of the freezer, I realized that there was nothing I could do about it at five in the morning, so I went running.

I was so happy to meet Jenny, and have someone to vent all of my stress to. I love my running friends. My knee still hurts!

Early longer run before the baptism craziness ensues. It took a couple miles for my knee to warm up, but it seemed to do a lot better as the run progressed. Though it is still sore, I notice improvement every time. So, no permanent damage. Just bruising. I will continue to ease into full training.
