I ran up Provo Canyon with Wayne this morning. Larry dressed to run and met us but his toes were really hurting so he decided not to do the long run today. Tuesday his doctor diagnosed his condition as Morton's neuroma. I hope he can recover quickly. Wayne's newer Garmin measured our distance as 12.3 miles. Mine only registered 12.09 miles and warned about a poor GPS signal quite a bit this morning. We ran it in 1:40:24 (8:09/mi by Wayne's watch, 8:18/mi by mine). Splits up were 9:06, 8:30, 8:38, 8:46, 8:23, 8:17, and 1:18 for 0.17 mi (7:35/mi). Splits down were 2:40 for 0.22 (12:04), 8:39, 8:24, 7:45, 0:47 for 0.10 (7:38/mi), 7:45, 7:20, 4:03 for 0.59 (6:52/mi). As I mention, the GPS was a little flaky on some of these numbers. Neither Wayne nor I felt much like pushing as hard this week as we did last week. Even though we were slower than last week, we were both actually a little surprised that we ran as fast as we did and were quite satisfied with the run. We started running at 5:45am, and the best part may have been that it never really got hot before we finished.
