Went out on a nice day.  I was trying to see if I could run on my knee after a week off.  It was stiff, but I made it through okay.  Josh came up on me at the beginning and ran with me the whole run.  7:29 ave.

I think I will try to run the Half tomorrow and see how it goes.

1.1 warm up with Tim and Hunter.  Knee didn't feel right, but I figured I would go out with Tim and Andrew Bracken and see.  About a mile into the run I sped up and started to pass people.  That course is tough course and then it was warme and windy today.  I was feeling okay until we hit the river trail with 7 to go.  the head wind was decent and it was pretty spread out.  I did catch a couple more guys, Chad at 8 miles and another guy at 10.  Ran pretty slow, but so did everyone else.  Ended up 7th overall and 2nd in the age.  1:31:21 the slowest half ever!  Knee got really stiff afterward and I wraped it and iced it thoughout the day as much as I could at the Copper Hills Invite.
