Decided to take it easy this week since everytime I increase my mileage too quickly my knee starts bugging me.  Ran 2.83 miles in 22:00 min.  Most likely I'm going to have to drop out of the Pocatello 50 with as little running as I can do right now.  I did sign up for the Moonlight Half Marathon in Mapleton in August.  I don't plan on running the Hobblecreek 1/2 this year after the constant poor race organization year after year.

Ran 2.83 in my new INOV8's which is my first run in more minimalist running shoes.  I really enjoyed the run and felt really good.  The knee didn't bother me at all.  I plan to continue to just take it easy this week and let the knee heal.

Ran 5 miles on the treadmill this morning in 44:00.  Thank you so much Jeff for the running tips.  I worked on shortening my strike, standing taller, and forefoot strike.  It felt good other than I could feel a blister beginning below my big toe.  I understand that my feet muscles and skin will strengthen over time as they grow accustomed to this running style.

Just took it easy today at the gym and did some spinning and weight lifting.  My calves are sore from changing my running form yesterday.  I think that tells me that its probably working.  Good luck to all the SLC Marathoners!

3.5 miles in 24:00.  Legs felt good but need to work on my breathing with the quicker cadence.
