I am so excited and amazed that the Giants beat the Patroits last night. Being an Indianapolis fan, the next best thing to seeing the Colts win is seeing the Patroits lose. Eli had a great game and should take him up to the next level.

Great day outside today (45, calm, fog) to run. I was sore in my right hip and left knee today. Could be left over from the long run on Sat. It felt better as I went but didn't totally go away so I will have to monitor it to see how it goes. This week I am trying to bump up the mileage a little bit so with that goal in mind I did 9 miles this morning instead of my usual 8.

Nice run in what sounds like great weather (at least to me!). Stretch really well, take some ibuprofen and make sure some of your runs are easy/recovery run. Just watch it and gauge your mileage on how you feel.

Keep running strong.

I have been watching your weather in UT and I am impressed with how well you guys stick with your training in tough conditions. We have some bad weather in Indiana but it is up and down so you usually get some decent days outside to offset time on the treadmill. Thanks for the feedback!
