Knee

Well, my knee is now giving me some issues and I had to do a treatment yesterday. This is keeping me from RAGBRAI training for a couple days. :(  I really need to get out there and put some more miles on!

Showdown 5K : June 9, 2012

My time: 32:29... With a stroller, rain, and spurts of hail... Yes and gusting wind in my face on the home stretch! It looked fine at the start, but changed dramatically! I can't believe I posted a good time with those conditions. I was absolutely soaked to the bone afterwards. Luckily for Alex, he had a rain cover!
