Nice easy recovery run with Kim, mostly on the river trail by the ballparks. I think I'll bag the XT today and rest tomorrow just to play it safe with the bit of pain/twinge I've felt this week below my right knee on the inside. I felt great today running so I think I'm fine at slower pace, but can still feel it when I straighten my leg and turn/stretch it certain ways. Want to be good and rested for the planned 20-miler on Saturday down Provo river trail.

So 20 miler planned for Saturday. That will be awesome. You training for anything specific?

I'll be running (but not racing) St. George Marathon with Kim 4 weeks from Saturday. This one will mostly be a run-for-fun.

How confident are you that "Every run is a great run?" :)

They're ALL great Paul, but some are greater than others.
