Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
8.54	0.00	8.54

Met up with Rachelle at 6am at Macey's in Orem. We ran up the canyon and back. Turned around just over 35 minutes to make sure we got 8 or more miles. Time flies when you are running with a friend. Faster alone runs seem much longer to me!! Nice headwind but not the deathchill this time of year usually brings out of Provo Canyon. Was able to take my gloves and top layer off. Thanks Rachelle for inviting me!! 8.54 miles @ 7:58 AP. Honestly thought we were well over 8 min miles so nice to see easy for us is 8 even. We seem to have the 8 min/mile cadence down perfectly. Although we were back 2 minutes and 45 seconds faster than our way up. All effort based however. Nothing forced. All 'au natural'. Feeling good.

Thanks so much for the run and the chat this morning. :) Hopefully the weather cooperates through winter and we can do this run more often.

Sorry I missed you guys! I thought I saw you when I turned on 800N @ Harmon's but then when it was 6:20 I thought I missed you and headed up the canyon alone. Boo!

That is a bummer! How did we miss each other ? were you on the other side of the road? We left a little late. we saw two girls at different times going up the canyon alone. I would be too scared at that your to run alone.

Im with you, running alone no matter how fast I'm going always seems so much longer than running with someone!! Sounds like a great run!

From runningafterbabies on Wed, Dec 05, 2012 at 15:35:05 from 71.195.219.247

I thought you guys must have already headed up and ended up running just a little bit farther up the canyon than you - we were probably running the same pace on the way down, just a half mile apart or so :( Boo! And I was definitely creeped out a little bit. I didn't wear my music and tried to not think of the boogy man coming out to attack me.
