Perfect Early Morning

Headed out at 6:30 this morning, and the fog was light but stuck around long enough to keep the sun from shining through. I ran 9 miles and then stopped at the house to pick up the wife, and ran another 4 with her. The temperature was probably in the mid to upper-50's, and it was absolutely perfect for a nice long run. Went without headphones and just enjoyed the early morning quiet.

The right knee, which had been hurting the other day, feels fine. I started off this morning on a level stretch of road and eased into the run, and I think that made all the difference. There was some slight tenderness right there at the beginning, but after the first quarter mile it wasn't a problem and I didn't really think about it again. Guess my caution with not pushing it on Thursday paid off today.
