Kent, Kevin and I left at 5:00am to beat the heat on our 18 mile Fort Utah run. Apparently Larry's leg was still bothering him because he didn't show. We missed Wayne as well. Kent and Kevin both had GI tract issues during the run, but other than that it was an enjoyable run. We started early enough that we didn't get sun until about mile15. We stopped at Macy's for sports drink, but I had just taken an eGel a little before that so I opted for water from the fountain. Kevin had to stop again just before we got to University Ave. Kent and I didn't think we could stop and get going again so we went on ahead. We expected Kevin to catch us, but it turns out he stopped another time or two, once to watch his daughter play soccer for a couple of minutes. Still, he finished only 6-7 minutes behind us. This run wasn't speedy, but it's always good to get a long run behind you. It's a bonus to actually enjoy the journey.
