I love these fall mornings! I wish they could stay as long as winter and summer stay. Tom got out again today for the first time since the Big Cottonwood Marathon last week that trashed his legs. We went over and met up with the SF gang. It was a bit nippy and windy at the beginning but a very nice morning for a 16 miler. A few did a bit less and two of our guys did 23. I'm glad I wasn't on their plan.
My knee was a little bothersom at the beginning but seemed to feel good the rest of the way. I tried to take it really easy on any down hill segments. I hope it won't be a problem at SGM but it is possible that it might give me some grief. That is ok though...I took that risk when I decided to run Mt. Nebo 1/2 a couple weeks ago.
Sad to run into a running friend who has been battling cancer. Just found another spot that needs to have a biopsy. My prayers are with her and her family and doctors. Those of us running after talking to her took our own health into perspective again as we left her. Grateful for every single healthy day in our lives! Which is one reason to run....because I can!
