Cold Turkey 6k City Creek Canyon Run. 9:00 a.m. 3.72 miles, official distance, 3.86 by Garmin. 27:46, 7:12 AP. 2nd Place M55-59 division. Tweaked my left hammy at about 3.25 miles. Hopefully not a repeat of a couple of years ago. A nice sunny morning. Chilly at first, but very nice throughout and afterwards. About a minute faster than last year.
