AM - Easy 6 with Sasha and Josse this morning. The trail was a bit icy and slick but other than that it was a balmy 33'F. The knee felt pretty good again today even a little better than yesterday. So the knee seems to be on the mend, hopefully. Now I just need to shake the last of the sickness. I was still on a mostly soft food diet yesterday but things are feeling better each day.

Glad to hear the knee is improving. Now get well from the sickness so we don't catch anything when we stay with you!

See you tomorrow.

Great to hear you feeling better. I've had some of this crude over the weekend to and still have a sore throat. Almost all of my co-works have some form of this sickness.

I'm glad your knee is doing well, and good enough to run Del Sol.

Both you guys get better by tomorrow...I have been lucky enough to avoid this late season sickness (knock on wood) and I don't want it now :-)

Jeff:

I'm pretty much over it just a little sore throat when I wake up and that's it. My wife was sick with it all weekend along with a migraine and vomiting. My daughter has missed the last two days of school with it.

It's not a concern heading into the race. My concern is how my racing speed is going to be without any intensity training because of the achilles. I want to meet that projected 5:42 average pace time for the three legs.

I heard all you boy are running tomorrow when and where?

I think the plan is to run at 5:30am from my house for an easy 6 miles. It should be Jeff, Kory, Steve A. and I. My address is 3153 Navajo Lane in Provo if you wish to join us.

Can you give me directions I don't think I would find it without.

Take center street in Orem to the east and just keep going. It turns into Foothill Dr. and then turns into Navajo Ln. Look here at G-maps link as well.
