I have a weak knee from a slight injury while moving furnitures. I run only 10 minutes a day, but now I can go hiking 4h instead of 30 min before I start feeling a significant pain. If I stop runing even for 2 weeks, the pain comes back right away. Amazing what staying active does for injuries.
Make the drive (PM me for info) to Tooele get a Buffalo burger (less saturated fat than a regular cow burger) and beer on me, I think you'll like it.
Here's 2 weeks ago looking for wildlife
Love all 4 seasons in Utah.
