Nice easy run today.  Was happpy to be joined by James Clissold, a high school pal. Running in groups is definitely the way to do it.

Calves are a bit sore today.

7.4 miles in the afternoon. Finally starting to lose a couple of pounds, paying attention to what I eat isn't too fun.

Drove to Wasatch and 6200 South lot.

From there I ran north and headed up Millcreek canyon a little over a mile and then back.

Averaged 7:30 out and just under 7 back. 

At a family Christmas party last night, my uncle, a former runner was telling me about one of his running buddies named Heikki Ingstrom. I'm sure some of you know who he was or even knew him personally.  It was a very interesting conversation and I searched for info about him. The Deseret News published a story about his running mysterious death. It is in two parts and I posted it below. Today happens to be the seventh anniversary of his untimely death. 

Part 1

Part 2

Got two shorter runs in today. Low teens in the morning and a bit better in the afternoon.

6.5 miles and did 5.5 more later with my new goretex shoes.  Thanks to Jing for some waterproof running shoes.  They're nice but I'm not use to having the heavier, stiffer upper.
