An interesting run this morning. Lloyd N. called me last night and asked me if we were still running on Monday mornings. I told him we were and invited him to join us. I missed Richard last week, but apparently he came down (I waited until 5:50 and then figured that his knee must still be giving him trouble). The three of us took off heading south along the trail. Richard was actually running quite strong, but needed to walk for a bit after about a mile. We continued on to Highland Glen Park and then Lloyd and I headed northeast along the road behind Lone Peak HS. He said he'd signed up for TOU and needed to start getting serious about training. After reaching 48th West we ran north and caught the golf course trail and followed it to the mouth of American Fork Canyon. It was then that I realized that I hadn't restarted my watch after parting from Richard. We ran up the canyon a little ways to add on a mile and then ran up the big hill on Canyon Road and down to the grain silos. I felt OK for the most part, I wasn't breathing very hard and my legs were all right, but my throat was really sore. When I got home I told Laureen about it and she said that her throat was sore as well and she felt sickly. I'm not sure what we've picked up, but I'm hoping it's fairly minor. I've felt a little more tired that usual this afternoon, but the sore throat is pretty much gone. I'm hoping I can get a good seven mile workout in tomorrow. |
