Went a shorter distance at 2 AM after work. I then ran 3 miles in the rain at 5 PM.

You are brave to run in the rain. I ran at Wheeler Farm in the morning and got chased by a goose! Good job on the five miles!

From Dereck on Thu, May 08, 2008 at 07:45:01

Geese are mean, whenever I cross paths with one I keep my distance. Thanks, I'm trying to run longer distances. Maybe I'll compete in a 10K this summer?

Do you get scared running so late? All of the wackos lurking about in the shadows? You may need to get a body guard if you keep it up!!

From Dereck on Wed, May 14, 2008 at 21:18:05

So far so good, I see a lot more wackos during the day. Maybe I'll start a website called www.rentarunningbuddybecauseyouliketorunatnight.com

I am experiencing some right knee pain so I have been taking a break from running since Sunday.

Knee pain? Smart idea to rest. Hopefully it will clear up soon. I found out at work last night that a bunch of people in the ER are planning on running the St. George marathon!

So I guess I’m an activist at heart. I noticed we’ve only had 13 votes but 144 views and there are more of you out there. I know some people don’t use the discussion board of the blog so I’m posting this comment on everyone’s blog that has updated in the last few days or so to bring your attention to both the discussion section and the mileage board. Please read the discussion here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,324.0.html) and then vote here (http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,348.0.html) if you have an opinion. If you already voted, I am sorry about the “spam.” Thank you!

How's the knee feeling? How do you like being on the Lone Faithful list? :)

From Dereck on Thu, Jun 19, 2008 at 20:28:07

I've just been taking it easy, and I have faith it will heal if I do so. Yay for 400 mg doses of ibuprofen and chondrotin sulfate with glucosamine. The new pair of Mizunos replacing my old asics has probably helped.

I will probably buy a bike after I get back from Portland. I'll probably bike to work in the fall, not the middle of June ;)

Just a nice easy run. Trying not to overdue it. My knee hasn't been bothering me much. I want to keep it that way!

My knee has been feeling a lot better and I decided to take a late night run. I had just got back from a vacation in Portland. I walked and biked everywhere the entire trip. Going to buy a bike this week to strengthen my quads and hopefully be back up to running 3 miles at a time by the end of the month.

Another simple slow late night run. Still not trying to overdue it.

I bought a bike today, I need to mess with my blog options so I can add cross training miles.

School started this week, I had a big exam last Tuesday, and my girlfriend broke up me the Tuesday before. It feels good to run.

How's your running going? St. George was a pretty grueling race. Pouring rain! At least my knee didn't hurt. Just muscle cramping! I think I like 5ks the best. :)
