8 easy.  Fell however at mile 2.2 over uneven sidewalk by palisades golf course.  Elbow scraped up and right thigh a good contusion.  But still ran 6 more miles.  Julie Esplin was coming up hill at same time out of canyon as I was going towards.  She soothed my sorry soul.  WE ran back to palisades fields and I cleaned my elbow.  We parted ways but it was so good to have a friend!!  8:36 avg.
