I had a rare Saturday morning that I didn't have to work and had no family or church commitments, so I decided to go run with the local running club.  A couple of the faster guys where there so I decided to run with them.  After explaining that I've been injured for a while and have not done much running since January they asked me how far I was running today.  I said, "how ever far you guys are running."  I was anticipating about 10, they said 13.  I said OK.  Lets do it.

Ended up running 13.6 with AP 7:54

It was fun to run with Jim and Jeff and to push myself a bit harder than I have in a long time.  My knee felt really good until the very end when it started tightening up a bit, but nothing too bad.

I'm going to be sore tomorrow since I haven't run that far since that 33 miler on Jan 1.

Nice job!!! I don't think I could have run that far. It goes to show what great shape you're in.
