I went up to the temple, around, and back (all the way pushing Joshua in the stroller.  We averaged in between 7:00 and 7:30 per mile, which was okay since it was getting late and we were staying on the sidewalk (I forget how much it slows you down to go up and down with the stroller every block or so).  But I felt much better today than yesterday.

On a non-running note, I also am getting close to finishing my Honors Thesis and other requirements so I can officially graduate with Honors.  My current Masters program will be happy about that.
