I ran the regular water tank hills with Larry and Wayne this morning. We all took it pretty easy on the hills. Most of the conversation during the first part of the run was regarding our aches and pains. We must be getting old. Later in the run we referred to someone in his 30's as a youngin'. Once again I pushed the pace the last downhill mile home. It wasn't all out. I let the brakes off and pushed enough to keep the momentum moving along and ran it in 5:52. It actually felt pretty good. It would be nice to be able to string some sub-6:00 miles together on the flat, but I'll take what I can get. I'm looking forward to the Provo River and Hobble Creek half marathons coming up in the next month. They both have some good downhill miles. They should be fun adventures. It will interesting, as always, to see how things unfold.
