8 easy with Amber (her first long run training day) from mouth of provo canyon (car at parking lot). Quite windy and cold at first.  Amber underdressed as usual.  Thank goodness she had her fuzzy gloves!!  We only stopped at turn around and me at icy spot under the bridge.  No risk taking.  And me once when I saw Julie e coming back up so had to "sprint" to catch back to amber.  two min total and a couple seconds.

9:39 avg

1 mile toward home and back (1/2 and 1/2) just passed soccer fields turn off.  

9:13 avg.

love my new running shoes- saucony endorphin speed 4s Sunny is the color. White with sunny yellow.  White helps me be glad there is not snow on the ground!  Thankful when the sun peaks at the end of a run.
