Back to running after a bit of a layoff.  I was lazy last week after getting back from a geology field trip that started on Aug. 27th and ended on the 31st.  From the 19th to the 26th I ran about 12 miles total, but I didn't blog about it.  The field trip was fun and included camping and hiking at around 9500 ft and above.  Today I did a short loop.  It felt okay, but I felt a bit winded at the end because of the layoff.  The legs felt fine.  The last day I ran before today, I had a little pain in my left knee that concerned me, but it was fine today.

An easy 5.  I have been walking back and forth to school a lot lately and haven't gotten in any good runs.

Nothing new to report.  It was another lazy week.  I've not really felt motivated to run lately.  School is keeping me busy.  Classes are easy, but having to finish up my thesis at the same time as I'm starting my PhD is difficult.  I've also been walking to school to save on gas money.  They have this crazy policy of paying us only once a month here at U. of Wyoming.  That isn't too bad by itself except that the semester started on Aug. 24th, and the first paycheck isn't until this coming Wednesday.  My last paycheck from BYU was in the middle of August!

I did my standard loop out to the big parking lot and around the block.  It felt good.  Total time was 28:22 for 3.9 miles (7:16/mile).
