From running log:
Ran about 3 miles at 7:20 pace, again around Devil's Lake. Hot and sunny. This time ran with Todd Crary. Right knee still hurting. I wore a nylon brace on it, but didn't help much. CC run tomorrow.
30 years later:
I've mentioned Devil's Lake before, so I'll try not to repeat myself. It's still a nice place to run, and in the years since 1979 they have added miles of trails to the edges of the park. There is now an interesting race held there in July, part of the Dances With Dirt series. Next year it will take place on July 10. I'm itching to run it. Came close to doing it as part of a relay series in 2009, but the timing just didn't work out.
Anytime you run at Devil's Lake, you must leap into the cool water afterward. The lake is spring-fed, and no motorized boats are allowed, so the water is clear and fresh. The best spot to swim is along the west side of the lake, where a narrow path takes you into a field of enormous boulders that have rolled down the bluff all the way to the water's edge. Pick a big rock and jump in (look first, no point in smashing yourself on other rocks just below the surface, um, take it from the voice of experience).
