Wayne and I started out the Thursday Cascade route, opting to go up 1600 N instead of the normal winding route to 1200 North. As we were descending 800 E toward 1200 N we saw a runner and dog cross 800 E on 1200 North. It turns out Kevin was just a little late leaving and was trying to catch up to us on the normal route. We chased him chasing us for a while, trying to yell loud enough to get his attention, but the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. Finally, when we reach the windbreak of the large trees along the golf course, I was able to yell loud enough to get his attention and he waiting for us catch up. Our mile splits gradually got faster from 10:28 going up the first hill to 8:18 for the last mile home. Average pace 9:09/mi.
