Another mile after work with the dog. Ran 3 miles to the gym and back - stopping to do 1 hour of upper body and core weight training. 3 miles is too short - my legs barely warm up and I am done.

May be you can run the "long route" to the gym? Glad you're finding time to workout and walk Twilight!

I was about to chastise you, since 10.85 is too far along if 21 is your goal, but then I saw your walking is in there, so it looks like you are on target. You're Michelle-approved :) (for now!!!)

Teena - Biggest Loser night makes for a good night. Twilight is good - full of energy!
Allie - Still concerned, the knee hurts on the inside edge, but much better than a few weeks ago. It feels like something is 'pulling' - don't know how else to describe it.
Smooth - I'm limiting my actual 'running' to 3 miles a day in September, so have to wait until October to go to the farther gym.
Michelle - yep, I count walking mileage too, since I am an ultramarathoner. Phew - glad you approve (for now).
My current plans are 3 miles a day running through September, 4 miles a day in October, 5 miles a day in November, etc. It will build me up a base again (I can't believe how quickly my endurance disappeared) and let my legs heal.
