I ran alone this morning. The original plan was to do 10 miles, but I ended up changing plans due to some unplanned events during my run. While I was running (about 3.5 miles into the run) I see a burnt out section of the provo river trail. This surprised me because it wasn't burnt out yesterday. As I run I keep seeing more burnt out sections. I was surprised that there was so much burnt, yet nothing big. Then I come upon a section that is still smoldering. I decided to put it out and I got super dirty in the process. I was afraid that it would catch fire again so I didn't want to leave it. Because of this I cut my run short as I had some time restrictions due to the fourth of July. I might try to get in another mile or 2 later on today to make up for the lost mile this morning. If not I don't mind because one mile isn't significant anyhow. I finished in 1:04:24 running the first 4.5 in 33:37 and the second 4.5 in 30:47. I ended up getting a little bit more running in just after I finished my 9 miles in the morning. I dropped my wife and her parents off so they could watch the parade after which I drove home and ran to watch the parade. I ran more than a half-mile and less than a mile so I will count it as .5
