Instead of getting in my car and going to the gym I decided to venture out on the road and run at Sugar House Park. I made it 2 times, yes 2 times, around the park and was able to finish with a 5:30 mile.  6:27 average for the run.  My fitness is fine because I have been spinning at the gym and doing other random exercises but knee just isn't ready for anything serious.  A 5k might be in the near future..

On the treadmill, again.  Didn't think I should run today but I couldn't resist.  ~6 min pace @ 1.5%.  Last 2 in 5:30.

I went to the gym prepared with swimming fins, running shoes, and my new water running shoes.  It took me about 65 minutes to water run a mile (72 lengths).  It was definitely the slowest and hardest mile I have ever run.  It was a huge struggle at first but I made a break through once I figured out that breathing was much easier with my face above the water.  Odd how that works.  After the run/swim I decided that I needed to redeem myself by running a mile on the treadmill.  That mile was 10 times faster (6:30).
