Four miles along the trail in 29:36 (7:24/mile).  Picked it up the last 200m to try and get under 7 for the last mile.  Got a 7:01.

Three miles along the trail in 22:00 (7:20/mile).  I haven't had any knee trouble for several weeks now.  That is a good sign.  Now I just need to get back to more consistent training.

More miles along the river trail again.  There were a lot more people out today with the nicer weather, and I went a little earlier in the afternoon as well.  Total time was 26:07 (7:27/mile).  The first two were slower at 7:40 pace, but the third was a little faster at 7:09.  I was trying to keep up with some bikers.

I decided to run in the early morning because I wanted to get the blood pumping for my Physics GRE test at 9:00am.  I thought I would never have to take that foul test again, but my previous scores had expired.  I needed some new scores so I can apply to Ph.D programs that require it.  The run went great.  I did 2.5 in 20:20 (8:08/mile).  The test was another story.  Now I get to wait for my lousy score to show up.  I love standardized tests!
