5:00 a.m.  4 miles easy to East Elementary and back via Main/Vine and THS track.

Am I the only one who can't enter things on this blog via an I-pad?  I can enter mileage for fast and slow mileage and shows, but can't add anything in this comment box.  I have to be on my PC or MacBook. 

6:30 p.m.  5 miles in 46:19 on the standard Skyline route to the gate and back via Loma Vista and Upland loops.  Felt pretty warm.

6:30 a.m.  Met Tina and ran 1.5 up canyon to the Dark Trail and went up to the upper canyon gate and back home via Coleman loop for 8 miles, then I did another 6 mile loop on the double track trail behind Little Mountain up into Deer Hollow and back direct on Skyline.  A good workout, but very slow.  First that my knee has been able to handle a trail run.  Hip hurting some, but not as bad as last Saturday.  45 mile week.

9:15 a.m.  Lt. upper body weight reps at the gym.  3 x 15 x 6 machines.

Body weight is finally back down to pre-injury weight at 168.
