From home to Memory Grove/City Creek, about a mile at West High striding the straights then home. 60:19 600 ft climb

Knee is feeling 'balky' but minimal pain during run and its tightest in the morning. I don't know if its ITBS since its not tender and its a bit lower than the knee cap. I've been running flatter runs for fear of it but it didn't really act up today on the uphill or downhill.

A tale of two runs. I had ambitious goals of doing a 2x5k within a 50 minute tempo but the work treadmill died on me when I was about 2.25 in. Warm up mile of 7:08 then 1.25 at 5:27. I then went outside and my legs were not having it so I did a slow meander through Research Park and around Red Butte in 32:50 with 400+ ft of climing. Total of about 47 minutes. 

I was also sluggish last Monday after the six straight days and two longer weekend runs so that's noteworthy. Perhaps I need to run slower on Sunday. I did 55.46 miles in my six on days which is a high for me (last week was 45.97 in the six days of running). Considering upping to 7 days on/one off but I may hold off until January when marathon training begins. Knee feels good.

I have had a nasty cold the past four days. Good down time to let my body heal and take in the increased running load. Down to a new low weight and I don't think it is related to being sick as my appetite is normal.
