It was a great morning for a run. Like Monday, I slept in a little (yes, I was up late reading "Marathon") so it was light and beautiful as I headed out. For some reason I decided to run towards the mouth of Provo Canyon and then down Palisades. It was just short of 4 miles to Center Street. I wanted to go 8 miles total, so I made up the distance looping through some side neighborhoods on the way back. It's gradual uphill to the golf course then downhill to Center Street. I ran the same route down and back. I really enjoyed it and will probably use it again. I ran 8.1 miles in 1:09:21 (8:34/mi). Mile splits were 9:04/mi (for 3 miles), 8:05, 8:49, 8:38, 7:55, and 7:49. At noon I did the traditional Lake View run. With Tom in India, and no Cory or Nathan, I thought I might have to run alone, but Will and Russ were leaving later than usual so I ran with them. Russ had to get back for something so he turned around at the church. Will and I had a very enjoyable run together. We stayed conversational the entire run and still managed to finished the 5.2 miles in 38:40 (7:26/mi).
