As my left knee was bothering me off and on throughout the day yesterday (especially going down stairs), I thought I'd take it easy today just to give it a chance to fully recover. During the night it hurt enough to wake me up every time I turned over, so I decided to skip this morning's run. With very little time left to get ready for St. George, I want to get as much training in as possible, while staying injury free. Walking around this morning and going downstairs, the knee feels OK. I'd like to try a shorter run tomorrow and then a longer run on Saturday if possible. Since it seems to be aggravated by downhill running, I'll probably avoid that for the time being. With a little luck, I'll be back on track next week.

Good luck with the knee. With marathon training and high mileage it's always a balancing act between too much and too little.

Maybe we're getting too old for this, Kerry. My body has been rebelling a little against the extra mileage, too. Hobble Creek next week will be a good test for me.
