It appears the MRI shows that I have a medial meniscus tear. I will see the orthopedic surgeon on Friday and we will see. Hopefully my brief, joyful running career is not over. I doubt it since the knee certainly does not bother me that much. It must be a degenerative problem since I am unaware of any specific trauma to cause a tear. I may need to overcome my fear of biking in Houston at some point. Probably could lap a runner or two if I was on a bike.
Going to a BCS bowl game is great, win or lose, especially in a neat place like Phoenix. Fans from both sides were gracious. The weather was lovely, 70's and no humidity. Their Rock n Roll marathon on Jan 15 must be a blast. While I did not get any running in outside of one day on the treadmill, I did get two days of some hiking in the desert mountains. Hiking in the mountains is as much fun as running and you don't sweat quite so much.

Joe,
Glad to hear you made it back safely and that you had a lot of fun (even though Notre Dame lost).
Being a Penn State fan, I can't begin to tell you how fortunate we are - even though I truly hated to wake up this morning to find out that Texas won (ugh!).
Is the MRI going to keep you from running Houston? (I would assume so; however, everybody's body is different in what it will tolerate.)
Best wishes in that and here's hoping to a great game next fall between the Fighting Irish and the Nittany Lions.
Jon
Thanks Jon. Don't know what I will do about Houston yet, depends on what the doctor says. I still plan to run it, albeit more conservatively.
Penn State had quite a season, all the more impressive to me after seeing how strong Ohio State is. The crowning of USC was becoming insufferable so I was happy Texas knocked them back.
September 9 should get quite the build-up as both ND and PSU will be hyped early next year.
Best wishes on the consultation w/the ortho surgeon. I hope your running career isn't over either.
best wishes with Houston and i hope you run pain-free!
