Got in approximately 5 miles at Ken's yesterday afternoon. At the beginning of the run I decided I was gonna go the old Ken's route until I hit the property line of the people who shut it down. Sure enough there is a big fence and gate totally blocking the trail. So, I took a side trail that lead back to 360 and down a very steep embankment...and down onto the main trail really close to the low water crossing. I ran toward Spicewood Springs, took the trail over to Old SSPRS, crossed the creek and ran back towards Lakewood. I loved running this trail after having not run it in a very long time. It sort of felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. Even with Ken's trail closed I'll still be able to get in a good hour of running and not do any out and backs. The bonus is that it's really close to home!!

My knee was still achy but not as bad.....I must have done a pretty good job of pounding it into submission. I did go to Academy yesterday evening and purchase a new pair of inserts to start wearing in lieu of getting a new pair of shoes soon
