Instead of getting in my car and going to the gym I decided to venture out on the road and run at Sugar House Park. I made it 2 times, yes 2 times, around the park and was able to finish with a 5:30 mile.  6:27 average for the run.  My fitness is fine because I have been spinning at the gym and doing other random exercises but knee just isn't ready for anything serious.  A 5k might be in the near future..

On the treadmill, again.  Didn't think I should run today but I couldn't resist.  ~6 min pace @ 1.5%.  Last 2 in 5:30.

I went to the gym prepared with swimming fins, running shoes, and my new water running shoes.  It took me about 65 minutes to water run a mile (72 lengths).  It was definitely the slowest and hardest mile I have ever run.  It was a huge struggle at first but I made a break through once I figured out that breathing was much easier with my face above the water.  Odd how that works.  After the run/swim I decided that I needed to redeem myself by running a mile on the treadmill.  That mile was 10 times faster (6:30).

Ran north to the U and south on 15th.  1:25, ~6:30.  After a long hiatus my Garmin still works.

90 minute spin class then 3.3 miles on treadmill.  First day that my knee actually felt solid and didn't get sore from the run.

RAN to the gym! RAN at the gym then ran home. First shower at home on a Mon-Friday since mid June. My hair appreciated the extra day of conditioner.

10k in 36 mins.  I woke up 45 minutes late so I was in a huge hurry.  Miles varied from 6:10 to 5:20.  The hilly miles were more painful than they should have been.

Ran up through Tanner's Park and along the newly paved path for the first time.  It's quite nice and the scenary/fall colors were amazing.  The knee didn't get nearly as sore as my 13 miler last Sunday and the course was much hillier.  This is a good sign.  Maybe just maybe, I will end up on the first page of the Mileage Board next week!

1/2 hour on the stair stepper and then 10 miles at about 6:30 pace and 1.5% incline on the treadmill.  The gym was extra busy today because of the rain.  What I don't understand is why most of the TVs were set to infomercials when we could have been watching football.

4 miles in Vegas before the conference.  I hate Vegas but the weather right now is nice for running.

75 minute spin and 2.3 miles on treadmill.  Miraculously I managed to wake up at 5:15 am.

I was considering running the Halloween Half tomorrow but I figured it wasn't worth the risk considering that it drops 2000 ft. So does anyone else think we have too many downhill road races? What ever happened to a loop? Busses aren't involved and knees are happier. Downhill courses might be faster but they aren't more fun in my opinion.
