Beautiful Morning!!!!! Took off right when the sun was about to come up over the mountains.  Good run on my South loop.  Averaged 6:48 pace for entire run.  Nice to run in the mornings and get some sleep.  Went to my daughters XC race afterwards. I love that little girl!  She did great!

Finally was able to run to school this morning because it wasn't pouring down rain!  I was really sore when I woke up from wrestling last night. It took me a couple of miles to loosen up, but I felt pretty good.  I really enjoy these early mornings in the dark.  Something about the cool air and being dedicated to wake up and run.

I woke up and wanted to run to school this morning, but it was pouring hard outside.  So, I opted to run in the afternoon.  I felt really good running today. Started easy, but progressed down to 6:15 pace and my knee felt perfectly fine. I'm pumped with this news.  Still gonna keep things easy though.

Ran to work this morning again.  It's always a slow start, but I like the cold crisp air and running in the dark.  It's also a great way to start the day.  I felt pretty good too after I warmed up.  Easy pace again.

After work today I met Wes Tibbetts again and we ran the trails from Service.  Beautiful day and I feel lucky to be a runner.  Easy pace.

Ran my South loop.  I've been doing some leg exercises to help rehab my knee and I believe that's why my legs have been tired lately.  Been doing leg lift variations and body weight squats, etc...
