Pounding Dirt

Tomorrow is the Trail Run at Lake Bistineau, 10 miles for me and 3 miles for Jonnene. I haven't run since last Sunday to give my right knee a chance to heal properly...it's probably okay anyway but there's not much I can do to enhance my fitness the last week before a race. I did get out on the bike Tuesday plus a spin on the trainer Thursday to keep the legs loose. We'll see how it goes Saturday morning...full report to come. It'll be a cold morning with plenty of sunshine and I'm hoping for a mostly dry trail to traverse upon. Then I'm back to the bicycle to catch up (eventually) to a decent level of fitness and get some races in.

In the meantime, we're keeping up with the news of one of J's uncles who is in hospital down in Perth. Without going much into it, it looks like some complications during surgery might be responsible for his condition, which is not too good. We're trying to stay hopeful but we're not getting much information. What we are getting doesn't sound good and he is in our prayers.
