| 5 miles in 44:45, 8:57 average pace. Skyline route out SR36 to Grimm's Gate and back direct. Fairly easy effort. Sluggish first couple of miles. |

Chicago, Illinois. 5 easy miles in 45:40. 6:00 a.m. run along the Chicago River trail to the Lakefront Path from the Hyatt to out past Shedd Aquarium and near Soldier Field. Back through Millennium Park. Warm and muggy, but a light breeze at times off of Lake Michigan. More cyclists than runners this morning. Just the opposite from when I was here in May. My biggest complaint about runners (and why I don't run using my ipod): A group of cyclists were coming along and one shouted "bike on the left!" Just as they passed me a runner in front of me immediately stepped left due to an irregularity in the path and about caused the cyclists to go head on with a cyclist coming the other direction. A close call. When I passed the runner a moment later, I said, "that was close", of course he couldn't hear me just as he couldn't hear the cyclist, but I could almost hear "Black Dog", blaring from his ear buds. My biggest complaint about cyclists: they want vehicles to provide 3' clearance, but many seldom gave the same clearance from walkers and runners who were over on the extreme right side of the pathway. Some of these folks were really moving.

| Kirltand, Ohio. 5 easy miles at 6:00 a.m. 46:45, 9:21 average pace. From hotel down into the river bottom and back up to the temple on the other side. Loop around the temple block and south to high school. 1/2 mile on the track and then back to the Historic Kirtland Vistors' Center area and then returned to the hotel. Extremely humid here in the east. Supposed to be mid to high 90 degrees and very humid all day. My running clothes were completely soaked with 5 easy miles in the early morning. |

| Upstate New York: Manchester to Palmyra and back along the Canandaigua Road. 14 mile run past the Hill Cumorah and up around the temple and then into Palmyra. Coming back I ran along the main trail in the Sacred Grove and back past the Joseph Smith home and cabin. A nice early morning run, but extremely humid. My shorts were as if I had been in a swimming pool. 8:51 average pace. |

| Erie, Pa. 5 miles very easy once again. 47:15 recovery run. From same hotel as 2 days ago, same basic run, except I found a nice, wooded, road for about 2 miles. |
