Parked my car right where the dirt starts on Turkey Farm road. I was determined to run up to the Broken Mesa trailhead. In the first mile my left knee was hurting pretty good. I debated turning around early but decided to carry on. I ran by the Yellow Knolls trailhead and saw 11 cars. 11 cars? I don't even think that is a very cool trail but it is getting a lot of attention. After 5.5 miles of decent pain I arrived at the Broken Mesa TH and made a decision to hike for a little bit to rest the knee. Once I got to the top I just took it easy and the more time I spent running the less pain I felt in my knee. I'm not sure how it happened but I was thankful things worked out. Broken Mesa was awesome, running the Powerline back to the car was my least favorite part. I am loving the speedgoats! 14.01 miles
