I couldn't drag myself out of bed in the morning after a late night with Symphany, so I ran in the evening.  I just ran 2 miles along the trail in 15:12 (7:36/mile).  The knee felt fine.  I only felt it at the very end with about 100m to go, and even then, it wasn't bad at all.

Another 2 miles along the trail in the evening in a time of 14:54 (7:27/mile).  It was the same as yesterday with the knee.  It only started hurting in the last 100m and only a little.

Warm-up to Sasha's and then 8 on the bike in 33:12 (4:09/mile).  It felt good, but I still prefer running.

I took a little different route this evening and estimated the distance at around 2.1 miles.  My total time was 15:23 (7:19/mile).  I felt great, and the best news is that my knee didn't hurt at all!  I'll try another short run tomorrow followed by some miles on the bike.

Ran with the group this morning and then biked alone.  We had Tyler, Jeff, Jeff's dad and Sasha.  I ran 1 with the group and then turned around.  Total time was 17:48 (8:54/mile).  Then I biked 8 miles in 33:00 (4:07/mile).  The knee started hurting a little before 1 mile, but not bad.  I attribute it to running twice in less than 12 hours.
