I went to meet Larry and Wayne this morning but neither of them were there. I think Wayne might be tapering for the Provo River Half Marathon this Saturday. I saw Larry's wife Jolene heading out for her walk with Denise. She had left Larry at home thinking it was a biking morning for him, when he normally leaves later. She said he was moving pretty slowly this morning and may have fallen back to sleep. I went over and rang the bell, waited, then knocked and waited some more. I figured if he was that tired I'd just let him sleep so I headed out alone. I ran the water tank road like we have been doing on Thursdays, but when I got to the top instead of turning around I continued on the dirt road for another 1.25 miles or so until the Garmin got to 4 miles. I then turned around and headed back. It was another beautiful morning, and I enjoyed the run, but some companionship would have been nice. Even though I went a little farther than normal, my pace must definitely be rated as easy. I only averaged a 10:12/mi pace for the 8.1 miles. Sure, there were quite a few hills, but my legs just had no zip. I pushed pretty hard yesterday, and with the extra miles I've been trying to get in, the legs only had an easy run in them today.
