Last night's run never happened - icing aching knee and resting seemed wiser.  Glad I did - knee feels better today. 

IT is hot today!  Its 90 today and supposed to be 100 by the end of the week :(

Fun times watching the Olympic trials on TV tonight and this week!  Way to go Mr. Rupp!!

AM: Columbus 5k - 18:26 (3.16 mi.) -- good showing today - hilly course and super humid.  Busted out the old Kinvaras today - they only have 180 miles on them and they felt great - much lighter than the old faithful blue ravennas. Mile splits: 5:42, 5:53, 6:01, 0.16 - 0:50.  The last 1.5 mi. had some healthy climbs.  On a flat course, today would've been sub 18, I think... :)

misc. warmup distances with a couple of strides - kept it short with the temperature doing most of "warming up" by itself, CD runs on the race course - 1.54 mi. x 2.

neighborhood loop - 1.73 mi. w/ dog,

4mi. - moderate hill workout -- hard up hills, easy down x 6. Mile splits - 7:02, 7:37, 7:34, 7:29
