Not fast but not fast.

Wow, it's been a long time since I have been here.  Well, I've decided to come back to the blog to keep in better touch with fellow runners and keep motivated.  I have been training for the Pocatello 50 at the end of May.  Two weeks ago I injured my knee on a 27 mile training run.  I was up to over 50 miles per week before the injury which I am hoping is just a minor setback.  Yesterday I was finally able to run 1.75 miles and today I did 2.75 on the treadmill.  My knee is healing better but I definately don't want to push my luck.  I recently began the greatest job on earth- working part-time at a running store!  I know I have a lot to learn but I am so excited to be at Teton Running Company.  I honestly don't know how it can be called work!  I love getting first try at the latest running shoes and products.  I also get to meet great people and runners like Jeff Shadley who came in last week.

Ran outside this morning with the headlamp.  Went 3.76 miles in 27:06 and the knee felt really good for almost the entire run.  Had to slow down for the remaining quarter mile as I could tell it was starting to tingle a little.

Ran 6 miles on the treadmill at the gym this morning in 47:24.  Knee felt really good.  I bought my new Cascadias yesterday and can't wait to hit the trails.  I'll be in Utah next week and plan on using them up Dry Creek.
