Easy run.

6:56 am, 62-66°F, 27% humidity, winds calm, more shade than sun.

I haven't run much this week on account of travel, poor sleep, and general laziness. I decided I ought to finally get out today for a short run around Orem. I'll see if I can manage a longer run on the rail trail outside of Park City tomorrow.

Obviously, the sun rises in Denver earlier than it rises on the Wasatch Front in Utah even though they're in the same time zone. Add to that the shade that you get from the close mountains to the east, wh ich doesn't happen with the eastern plains in Denver, and you get shady mornings here in Utah.

I did a loop in Orem that was essentially, east on 8th South, north on 8th East, west on 4th North, south on 4th East back to 8th South. I only saw two other runners, but I saw seven LDS church buildings.

I've seen lots of signs advertising races here in Utah.

After about 2.5 miles I looked at my watch and realized I was going really slowly, so I sped up a bit.

AP: 9:47. Splits: 10:27, 10:05, 9:31, 9:19, 0.3 @ 9:06.

More churches than runners in the 'roadkill' bag? Yup...must be in Utah!

C U @ Des News. Maybe we can count how many LDS churches we pass during the run. :)

Ah, Zion.... how beautiful she is. Glad you made it to Utah and are enjoying it there. Looking forward to reading your race report.
