Yellow Fork this morning with my kids.  This run is alway way tough, but even harder the first time up every season.  We had a good crew going up the Riverton Varsity hill.  Always hard not to walk on that last .6 miles up.  11 orf us including Rory and Syockton headed to the lookout ridge another mile up and then we came down Rose Canyon.  The run was tough going down, so my knee was suer tight and my blister from Saturday needed more padding, but we still got down pretty quick.  Last 1.5 was under 6 minute pace for me, Rory, Jordan, and Isaac.  Good run, but glad to be done with that one.  Now I need to ice and get a nap.  1:21:36 for the 9.3 miles, 8:46 ave.  This was one of the faster times for this run that I have done.

Butterfield Canyon this morning.  I ran with Jordan, Stockton, and the faster boys up the canyon.  We started slow and picked it up as we went.  On the way down Jordan, Stockton, Isaac, and I pulled away from everyone else.  Jordan and I pulled away from the other two with 1.5 miles to go.  Our last 3 miles were at 5:24 pace.  It hurt, but felt good to get the legs going again.  The knee stiffened right up after the run, but was ok for most of the run. I averaged 6:57 for the run.

6 easy miles.  I ran down to Monarch and ran on the trail and out to the private road with Connor Jones and the boys.  Ran home with Connor after.  7:31 pace.  The knee in pretty sore and swollen today.

Easy 5 miles at 7:19 pace.  We are headed to San Diego for the next 8 days and I think I will take it off to see if I can get this knee better, it is super swollen and sore.  I hate to take time off, but I am going backwards I think.  Hopefully a full week will help.
