13.1 miles. AP- 9:08. Ran from my house up 114 to daybreak. Ran around the lake and then back down 114 to lifetime fitness. Good ruin although I seem to struggle a little over 10 miles. Splits: 8:54, 9:31, 9:29, 9:43, 9:46, 9:13, 9:08, 9:14, 8:54, 8:40, 9:01, 8:51, 8:29, 8:18 (.1).

Tried another new running app, which I did not like. I've just about given up trying to find something worthwhile for my mytouch. I'm debating on turning it back in and getting another blackberry. The apps seemed to work better on it.

I saw you run past my house as I was getting out of church. I yelled to you but you didn't hear me. You are really getting in some long miles now. Does it bother your knee at all?

It was a little awkward running past the church as it let out. I wish I'd have heard you but I guess I was focused on getting past everyone. My knee has been doing pretty well since I quit playing soccer. It is the cutting and twisting and acceleration/deceleration that really gets it inflamed, as long as I keep a reasonable pace and distance and don't pound the downhill i'm ok. Still looking at surgery this summer to repair the ACL.
