Changes

II I took far more time off in March to try to let my knee recover, so my mileage is extremely low. This is the least I've done since I started keeping records in 2004. Initially I was running 8 miles every other day, then I took most of 10 days off with just an occasional 3 mile run. This did make a difference, and the inflammation in my knee finally subsided.
