First run since the 50k. I think my recovery is going well. My right knee was a bit tender for the first two miles, but was feeling good at the end. I kept things pretty slow today, but it felt good to run again.

1001 miles. I finally made it into the 4 digit numbers. The miles this year have been a lot of fun, and have included a whole slew of races. One 3k, three 5k's, one 8k, two 10k's, one 10 miler, two half marathons, one 16 miler, one 17 miler, one 30k, one full marathon, one 28 miler, one 50k, and one 50 miler. Looks like I had a race in almost every distance. I am going to do at least one more 10k before the year is over. I will be running the Run to Feed the Hungry on Thanksgiving Day in Idaho Falls.

For today's run I ran the Mueller Park trail.  The was snow on most of the trail, but it was packed down all the way to Elephant Rock. I went a little slow today but still made good time considering the conditions.
