I got my final “long” run in today.  It was an easy 8 miler in Parker, CO and right now, knock on wood, my knee feels good.  Not great by any means, but good.  I hope that nxt weekends weather will be like today’s was.  It was a very comfortable 50 degrees.  It was sunny also, and I would rather run when it’s cloudy out, but the sun didn’t bother me at all.  I’m getting excited but I know that with my training that I missed, it won’t be my best time.  I would think that a 1:50:00 is doable and I would be pleased with that.

One think that I’m not sure about is if I want to shoot for a marathon this fall or not.  I guess we’ll see how the knee goes and if all goes well, then I just might.  I’d love to have my son Jason run one with me before I need a walker, but he’s got so many things going on in his life that it’s very hard to commit to all that training.
