Planned on a trail run in Logan but instead I am in Idaho Falls. So, I did my normal run- from the in-laws to Community park, 1 lap around for calibration (felt like 7:00 pace, watch said 6:58- dang, my internal calibration is accurate today!), over to the river, up to Fremont park with a brief detour to the weather station, then reverse home. About 12 miles. Started at 7:00 pace, gradually picked it up so mile 5 was 6:48, then mile 9 was 6:30. Maintained that pace until about 1/2 mile out, then slowed down on the last bit. Great weather (48 deg), good run.

It's not often I finish above Logan, Paul, Holt, and Clyde on the mileage board!  It's a sign of things to come...

Sorry I missed you! I did not log on Friday so I did not see your note. Give me a call next time you are in town and we will hook up. I went out the opposite direction that morning (east on Sunnyside) for about 7M. Hope to catch you next time. Keep on running.
