Richard had company in this weekend for his son's missionary homecoming, so he didn't make it out this morning. Lloyd had to fly out to Baltimore this morning so we had to cut it a bit short. He ran over 50 miles last week and is really starting to improve. We ran around the Highland Glen pond, along the golf course to the mouth of the canyon and then down to Cedar Hills Drive. We pushed the pace a bit up the big hill to pass a guy that'd passed us earlier and was walking. We pushed it even harder running downhill to our old stake center. We averaged 7:50 pace for the last mile and even ran some shorter stretches at 6:15 pace. I told Lloyd that we need to start training together earlier next year.

Kohler's Loop this morning. Dark and warm. A little sliver of a moon and Sirius just poking up over the mountain in the south east. A little slow getting going, but felt pretty good over all. Gradually picked up the pace until I was running half marathon pace the last couple of miles. I love this time of year.

Early morning loop around Highland Glen pond and then a lunchtime run with Laureen (which included a bit of hiking and exploring).

Great run down Provo Canyon and out to the lake with my buddies. The weather was beautiful and the temperature was about perfect. A few minor aches and pains that would come and go, but nothing of any consequence. Twenty milers don't get any better than this. Especially appreciated the ice cold drink waiting for us at the end. Thanks, Paul!
