I'm just guessing at my mileage tonight.  My son was doing a 14 mile training run, so I leap frogged him in my jeep as a portable aid station.  I would drive 2 miles ahead, run back to meet him and then back to the jeep.  I did a total of 90 minutes and was averaging about 11 minute miles according to his GPS. 

Interesting experience.  The teenage turkey had a rip in the groin of his running shorts (compression type under nylon) and I sewed it up a while ago.  He forgot that he tore it out again and was having some wonderful 'chafing' with some of his body parts.  Being the nice (sucker) mother that I am, I climbed in the back of the jeep, he climbed in the front, and we traded shorts.  Left me with a nice refreshing feeling the rest of the run. :)

I went to the gym and did an hour of upper body weights. After that, I did one hour total running.

Mile 1  13:58 (all uphill and warmup)

Mile 2  10:40

Mile 3  10:45

Mile 4  10:49

At that point, the knee was starting to hurt, so I walked the last 3/4 mile.  I've stretched well, but will ice my knee and ankle tonight because people at work pointed out they were pretty swollen.

Took a coworker running around Wheeler Farm in the heat. He wants to start running and get so he can do a 5K. Let me tell you - it was hot.

I've been resting my knee the last two days - but it still hurts on the downhills.

I am giving myself credit for hundreds of stairs.  Moved out of my 3rd story apartment and into a 3 story townhouse - so hundreds (or so it seems) or trips up and down stairs.
