I was able to run a little more today before the knee pain set in.   I played with the speed a little bit when the pain started and when I was running as fast as I could run it for some reason felt better.   

I did some abs and a few leg weights and then I did 15 minutes on the arc trainer set at level 6 and then I rode the bike for 15 minutes.  

I feel really good other than my knee is a bit achy.  

 

One of the twins said the funniest things to me on the way home today

She said I know why David died, I said Why? and she said" because he didn't have a mom and he didn't know how to cook so he starved to death" 

They are still trying to understand his death and talk about it.  David would have even laughed at that one.

Hey I just got off the phone with my mom and she said that Macey's in north Orem is having an emergency prep, sale. It is only the North Orem location and from what she said there are some really good deals. (It is all the bulk food in buckets and sealed cans)I am going to go check it out some time before Saterday. She said I had until Monday Morning to let her know about the waltons food order.

Thanks again for looking at my leg for me. It is looking alot like your hip. It is tender but in a diffrent way. (If that makes sense.
