After a nice walk to the cemetery and creek, my legs felt like they could use a few miles to shake out yesterday's run.  I continue to monitor rt knee inflammation...it was uncomfortable playing the organ at church today.  (40 minutes)

Jack and I ran to BST, but it was too bumpy for him.  So we came back down to pavement and met the family for tennis at the park.  Mostly I ran laps on a .21 loop; very boring and pretty windy.

1.25 to the caucus meeting and back, then 7 slow downhill miles on the treadmill.  I'm not feeling it.  On the bright side, I got paid today.  It's strange how the uncertainty of the last 2 months at work produced an undercurrent of excitement, as though every time there was a breeze, it might be the winds of change.  But now the situation is resolved, and I feel something akin to disappointment.

Biggest Loser Progression run.  I made it to 8 miles and 8.6 mph by the end.  My legs felt springy this afternoon, which translated into a nice run for the first time since Sat.

 Also, at work I threw down a 6 minute plank.  That's right, 6 continuous minutes, a new PR.  Few things are more uncomfortable than a plank, so I'm going to keep practicing them, putting the pain aside, and finding new mental compartments.  That can only help with the final grueling miles of a marathon.

3 of these miles were out and back to stores for formula and rice cereal, and to pick up pizza, followed by 10k.  What a perfect night.  Also, a 5 minute plank at work.  I'm trying to talk several co-workers into completing a fall half marathon.

I was getting sleepy while driving to St. George, so I pulled over and ran at the rest stop to wake up.

9ish miles on Virgin River Trail.  I needed a long run, but didn't get up early enough to run for that many miles before my son's tennis tournament started, so I took what I could get.  I'm coming down with something, or the cold I thought I kicked is resurfacing.  I gotta get 100% healthy soon...
