It was 43 degrees, but felt pretty nice this morning. I ran 6.55 miles easy. The back loosened up nicely during the first mile and the knee feels a bit better.

On a frustrating note....some animal from the field across the street dug a bunch of holes in my front lawn. Probably looking for grubs to eat. I probably have close to 100 (seriously!) holes in my yard.

Today was the last race in the Fun run series. I took the last few days off to try and get my IT/knee issue better so I can run St.George in 2 weeks. I only ran this because I was winning the series for my age group and all I had to do was finish and I would win.

I ran like I figured I would. I took it easy the first 4.5 miles and then picked it up (6:50) for the last mile and a half. My knee was iffy on the downhills but just fine on the flat.
