I got in a mile this morning before meeting up with Larry and Wayne. Kevin joined us just after we started. We ran a 6 mile loop up through Lindon. It was a little chilly this morning and I regretted not wearing my gloves, but it was still a really enjoyable run. I'm finally beginning to feel strong again. The back of the knee pain isn't completely gone, but it's still fading even though I've stepped up my mileage again.

Paul it's great you're feeling strong. Hey just in time for Nestle and WBR. That sub-19 5K might be coming your way soon, not to mention the sub-3 marathon in October.

So I guess I’m an activist at heart. I noticed we’ve only had 13 votes but 144 views and there are more of you out there. I know some people don’t use the discussion board of the blog so I’m posting this comment on everyone’s blog that has updated in the last few days or so to bring your attention to both the discussion section and the mileage board. Please read the discussion here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,324.0.html) and then vote here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,348.0.html) if you have an opinion. If you already voted, I am sorry about the “spam.” Thank you!
