Aaron and I met with our friend Danny in North Salt Lake to run together. I was a little nervous about running since my last run on Friday caused severe knee pain. Taking Saturday and Sunday off seemed to do a LOT of good though. We started off very slow and my knee felt fine until we had to go across some cruddy snow at around mile 4 and then my knee started nagging. After another mile it was slowly nagging more and I decided to bow out at mile 5.75 since we just happened to be running by Aaron's Sister's house. I didn't want to push it and injur my knee more. Need to get that knee feeling better so I can race on Thursday and get my training back up to speed. Aaron and Danny continued on for a total of 13.1 miles.

Huge bummer about the knee Nan. I'm impressed you are being so smart about treating it well though. I might see you guys at the race - it kind of depends on how my children sleep this week. Good luck and have fun if I don't see you.

I hope your knee is okay.

Is the air in Salt Lake bad?

Nan, be careful, Toby sweats a lot. LOL! JK.

Carolyn - aren't you going to Utah, too? What part?

From Carolyn in Colorado on Tue, Dec 29, 2009 at 14:50:50 from 67.166.75.37

All parts, Burt. Okay, not quite. I'm staying near Park City, but I'm in Salt Lake right now and I'll be in Orem on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

How fun. Have a good time, Carolyn. Sorry about that picture of you and Elton I posted on my blog last week. I know that chapter of your life is over and best forgotten.
