5 miles with Elaine at 5:10 a.m.  Slow and easy and in the rain. 

5 miles on trails and hills behind Little Mountain at 5:50 p.m.  45:25 or 9:05 pace overall.  Splits: 9:55, 10:23, 9:33 on the hills and 7:49 and 7:38 on the pavement coming back down Skyline.  A nice run.  Started with a hint of a calf pull or charley horse, but felt okay after a mile or so.

10 miles in SLC from 1300 S. and 1000 E. up into the avenues on 11th Avenue down into City Creek and through Memory Grove.  Back up 3rd Avenue to and back along 1100 E. and along McClelland Ave.   Loop to the south and back to complete 10.  With Tina.  Helen with us for the first couple of miles, but she wasn't feeling well and returned home.  A great hilly run.  Rain off and on, but tolerable.  I feel ready for Ragnar next weekend.
