AM: 5 miles (45 mins) - my battery is dead in my watch! I ran with Brent (about 3.5 laps on the grass at Liberty Park) - it was SO fun! It was a little earlier than I usually run, but it was warm out so it was a good thing that I got out early. Brent is doing so well with his knee, and he runs pretty fast for an easy run. I hope we can meet up again before he gets too fast, because it was great to have company and we actually have a lot of things in common - not the least of which understand the frustrations of aging in body but not mind. Thanks Brent!
PM: 4.5 miles (38:43) - whew this was a tough run. Not only was it hot hot hot (about 92) but I was tired. Running with Brent was the highlight of an otherwise tough day (3 hour conference call, headache most of the day ...). Ran from Poppington Park to City Creek Canyon and back. I really felt like I was crawling the 2 miles uphill back ... but when I got to the car I realized I was actually running much faster than I should have been! I have noticed that my afternoon runs are actually faster than my morning ones, but they also are harder for me (I am really not used to them and they are more uncomfortable).
