I ran the Orem library route solo again this morning. When I run alone on dark mornings that's usually the route I end up picking. I like the mostly flat, will-lit route...except maybe for the frequent canyon wind and slight uphill for most of the return trip. I averaged 8:27/mi this morning. My average pace on this route is gradually improving, although most mornings I think the temperature has more of an effect on my pace than my fitness...the warmer it is, the faster I go. I'm getting a little nervous about the Ogden marathon a month from now. I really need to get a few long runs in, but I need to be careful to not overdo it. I'm thinking of maybe 15 or 16 easy miles tomorrow, maybe up Provo Canyon for the first time this spring, but we'll see what the other guys are wanting to do.
