10 miles on the rail trail.  Got out early so only 3 cars there.  Saw deer on the trail and when I stopped to take photo mosquitos honed in on me ... aaargghh ... run!  Talk about motivation :0

I felt great on the run then at mile 6 my knee started acting up.  Luckily I wore my sleeves today so I could make a makeshift brace.  It worked!!!

At the very end of my run some people from a nearby gym were doing sprints at the end of the trail.  It just happened that a guy lined up with me perfectly and I couldn't resist a little race.  I hope my knee doesn't punish me for it tomorrow, but it sure felt great today!

You are genius using a sleeve for a knee brace! Hope it was a one time bother & never acts up again.

Hey - have you been spinning yet? I'm waiting for an update. Gotta be a good story there!

Yes. went spinning last Thursday. I forgot my water so 1/2 way through I had to run out and get a drink. I was in and out so fast that I wonder if everyone thought I just ran out to pass gas or something. when I came back in, Mark asked me to hit the switch for the fan. I hit the switch for the lights instead and everyone grimaced.

A debacle kind of morning.

Next time, borrow a sweaty rag and suck the moisture out if it. Mark will never look at you crooked again!
