Nice run up Provo Canyon to Vivian Park with Paul, Tom and Greg. A little breezy at the bottom with temperatures around the mid-30's. Because of continuing knee soreness, I rode my bike to the Trefoil Ranch and then back down to the bottom of the canyon. Since temperatures at the top were in the mid-20's and I'd been sweating lightly, I nearly froze to death on the way down. It's been a long time since I was that cold. Paul and Tom look like they're in great shape for Boston. It's going to be interesting to see if my knee will just numb up as we go along or whether it'll be bad enough that I have to drop out. I'm going to just try to keep my runs short between now and then and cross-train as much as possible.

Kerry I think the short-run/cross-train approach between now and Boston is a good plan. Hopefully heaven will smile upon you and let you finish the race. I'm all for a nice easy run/walk enjoyable race. Even if we take 5 hours I'll be happy as a lark just to be there!
