First run in over a week thanks to a fairly nasty cold.

Ran from the mouth of Provo Canyon on past Vivian towards South Fork Park. Larry, Wayne, Paul, Stacia, and Jeremy all started off together.

I was able to only go 13 to get back in time to leave for a Soccer game in Bountiful with Lizzy.

On the way back I ran several miles with a guy visiting from Boston. He was a recent BYU grad that is working for PWC but wanting to move back to Utah. Nice guy and it helped the miles go by quickly. After he turned around, I picked up the pace to average about 7:30 for the 6.5 downhill miles.

So the site timed out on me over the last hour. Oh well - the short and dirty version is this:

 Ran up City Creek and over to Federal Heights area of SLC over by the SLC Cemetery. Temps were in 80s. Run was somehow 80% uphill though it was a loop.

Average pace was 7:50. Not great, but about where I am right now.

Ran the normal Tuesday route up 2000 North with Larry, Paul and Wayne. Got a late start and didn't catch up with the crew till they were well up the big hill.

Legs were actually still tired from yesterday's noon run up City Creek.

Took Dash out for a cool-down lap around the block. He was REALLY excited to be out with Ozzie and Skittles.
