9.0 1:12:18 152 - Up the canyon 2 miles and back, repeat, and 1 more mile.  It was too dark do check my watch anywhere except an occasional street lamp. I guess that means it was a fairly even perceived effort the whole time.

5.0 40:36.1 147  Easy up the Canyon (2+2+1).  I didn't run yesterday because Tuesday during my run, about halfway through, I had a sudden onset of runner's knee (or something of the sort).  My right knee, on the inside, lower edge of my patella was sore and stiff all day.  When my alarm sounded Wednesday, I checked it and decided that it wouldn't be a good idea to run.  I stopped taking glucosamine (which I started taking the second or third week of August when my knee started to feel a bit of pain as I ramped up my miles) the day after the marathon - 'cause I ran out.  I bought some cheap stuff at Walmart Tuesday.  I also realized that I have dropped my water intake significantly and wonder what made the most difference - the lack of glucosamine, or the lack of water.  I've had some good weeks since the marathon, and I guess I can remember a bit of pain in the past couple weeks (water or glucosamine?), but it sure came on strong Tuesday.  Maybe I'll nurse it back, then alternate between a reduction of my water consumption and reduction of glucosamine in monthly cycles to see what make the most difference...

So, short story.  We inadvertently followed a patten with the naming of our children.  The first daughters name was chosen before we were even married (I had a first name for a girl that was the middle name of my MTC companion.  My wife had the middle name that was the first name of her best friend).  The second was a name that my wife heard while teaching...  The third I pieced together from a word I really like.  When it came time to name the 4th, our first had recognized a pattern.  Every name had 6 letters, 'i' as the second letter, and a double letter.  So we came up with a name four our 4th daughter that fit the pattern.  Then the oldest daughter found something else - they all have an 'e'.

So, we are currently in need of another name - whether it be a boy or girl, we're not sure.  It's still 7-8 months out, but we may need that long to find a suitable name.  Any help would be appreciated...

Examples that fit the mold (not that we would consider all these...):

Billie, Lizzey, Winnie, Tigger, Birdee, Kitten, Dillen.  

 

5.0 40:50.7 153 Logan River Trail.  My right knee is feeling quite good.  I drank as much water (at work) as I was during 50-60 mile weeks.  I'm not going to take glucosamine for a while to see if the water is what works, not the 4 servings of glucosamine in 3 days (though these pills have 500 mg per serving, compared to 1500 mg per serving in the pills what I was taking in August and September.  These pills also have MSM for inflammation...)
