I did a whole 2.16 miles. There was no screaming from my knee, which was nice. It's not 100%, but it'll do for now. I have 6 weeks to work my way back.

V - Good to hear your knee held up! Sounds like a good sign of healing.

Re: the heat. I had the same trouble at Pac Crest last year. It's 40-50 degrees in the morning when I run, most of the year. It was over 90 and exposed on the run at Pac Crest last year, and I really wilted the last 3 miles of the run. (also didn't fuel right, which didn't help either...) SO, acclimating to run in the heat is a very good idea!

This weekend is predicted to have a high of 78 in Sunriver on Saturday, so I imagine everyone will have MUCH better runs. Unfortunately, we've had an unseasonably cold and rainy spring/summer, so the water temps are *also* way down....
