Late evening run in the dark.  Just 2 miles in 14:25 (7:12/mile).  The knee didn't bother me today, but I didn't run yesterday.  I am loving the cooler weather though.

I was sick with a cold on Monday and Tuesday, but got out today in the early evening.  Planned on doing 3 and then met Sasha with Benjamin and Jenny on the trail and ran with them for a little.  Ended up with about 3.1 in 22:59 (7:24/mile).  Knee felt fine.

Three along the trail again in 22:20 (7:27/mile).  I did a little pickup with about 3/4 mile to go for about 200m to test the knee.  It felt fine.

Ran a little with the jogging stroller on the way home from a barbecue with some friends.

Three miles along the trail in the afternoon.  Felt bad that I didn't make it in the morning to run with Sasha.  I think that is the 3rd time in a row that I haven't shown up.  I've never been a morning runner or a morning person for that matter.  The 3 miles felt fine on the knee, but I felt a little tired from lack of sleep and not enough water during the day.  Finished with a time of 21:48 (7:16/mile).

Just 3 miles again along the trail in 22:03 (7:21/mile).  The knee felt fine until the very end when I started to stop.  I could feel a little pain starting up.  Not sure what that means.
