Ran ten miles with Greg at average 8:06 pace (American Fork/Kohler's loop). Felt pretty good, but my knee was stiffening up a bit by the end. Iced it and elevated it when I got home and it seemed like it was in pretty good shape. Ran errands, mowed the lawn and did chores around the house until five. Went for a three mile run with the idea of coming back home and running an additional seven with Laureen. The first mile was hard as my hip flexors and knee were sore. It started easing up a bit in the second mile, but experiencing a lot of lower bowel distress before hitting the three mile mark. Had to stop a couple of times before I got home because of cramping. Went out with Laureen and made it about a mile and half before the bowel problems returned. As my knee was pretty sore by that point I decided to just head back home. Iced and elevated it when I got back, but it was still pretty sore Sunday morning and the pain persisted through the afternoon. Sore again Monday morning, but seemed to gradually be getting better.

Kerry I think all-in-all this was a great run, the 8:06 average for the 10 miles was very strong considering the injury problems you've been fighting. Also I think you were smart to stop when you did, for whatever reason I've had bad luck at times in the past splitting up long runs like this on the same day. Hopefully any aches and pains you still feel today are the "good" kind (if there is such a thing) and not the bad, injury-flagging kind.
