5.58 miles / 0:50:26 / 9:03 A.P. / Home Had to do some serious self-talking-to to get me out on the road tonight. And all through the first mile I kept saying I needed to go back. Glad I didn't. The right knee was barking at me a lot during the first mile, but it settled down in the second and wasn't an issue at all from then on. I think the 'fix' I put in place on my shoe will help. Ultimately though, I may end up removing some of the stitching. There was a pretty stiff breeze blowing from the south-west that kept the bugs to a minimum--running this close to Utah Lake has, as one of its hazards, bugs aplenty. Other hazards include (but are not limited to) pot holes, critters (skunks and raccoons) the sewage treatment plant, and trucks hauling boats and horse trailers. This running thing, I think, is good for me in more ways that one. Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that I'm still fairly bitter and angry about a few things in life, and running gives me the opportunity to run some of the frustration off. Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how to run it off for good!
