Left knee is a bit sore today.

Signed up for the Utah Valley Marathon. I wanted to make sure I got in it before it filled up.

Bought a pullup bar at lunch time and will humiliate myself with it tonight.

1.5 miles with Twilight in 2 different walks.

Couldn't do any pullups, so used a stool and did 6 reps of each of the handholds lowering myself down as slowly as I could (which isn't much).

Sorry about the knee. What's the matter with it? IT band? Hamstring?

I am not sure I have ever seen a goose egg on your blog, it looks rather nice! You deserve it!

Remind me not to get a pullup bar at lunch time!

Guess I better sign up for UVM too!

Good luck with those pull ups. I can not even do one to save my life!

Take care of your knee!

Pull up bar is very demoralizing.

You think UVM is filling up fast? I haven't signed up yet. Heck, I just barely registered for Spectrum. Glad I signed up for Ogden last week.

Sorry about the sore knee, baby it. Hope it feels better REAL SOON!

hey, did you remember to mail it in and make a check for $5 off for being a Grand Slammer?

From tarzan on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 10:28:09

Les - no - too lazy. Just signed up online. I didn't take the discounts the last time I ran the Grand Slam either. I was more concerned with making sure I got in the race.
