AM: Met up with Josh & Megan on 3rd Ave. at 5:45. Heard about Megan's big win in the Blacksmith Fork 15K, which was awesome. She got some press too, which I heard was very nice. So, we ran up to This is the Place and did the Golf Course loop. On the return, we took a detour up into the upper reaches of the park, past the original monument. Took a shortcut through a playground to get back into Research Park. Somehow managed to pass up the slide and swings. With all the detouring, this was a longer run than usual. Pace was easy, which was good. Jack's first birthday was this weekend and I am now made of cake--need to work off a bit of it. PM: I ran home from work, trying to figure out the most sensible five mile route. I went up State Street around the capitol on the new gravel path, up (or down?) Gravity Hill to the horseshoe, to 11th Ave and then zigzagged down through the Avenues. I prefer running down Memory Grove to zigzagging the Avenues.
