A little different route that included a 3/4 golf course run, around the hospital and down to Grease Monkey.  I felt good.  No knee or quad troubles.  Total time was 32:34 (7:45/mile).

I ran the loop up to campus and back tonight.  I decided to try going a little faster since it was getting dark.  Total time was 36:09 (7:22/mile) for the 4.9.  It felt pretty good, but my quad was hurting near the end.  I think I pushed the pace too much in the beginning before warming up enough.
