I ran 6.5 easy miles through the flat, well-lit streets of Orem this morning. Two downsides of running down into Orem are 1) crossing a couple of busy streets (800N and Center) and 2) the wind that always seems to be blowing out of Provo Canyon. The wind seemed especially strong this morning. It was also quite a bit cooler this morning, but I didn't mind that. I wore a long sleeve shirt (first time since spring) and the coolness was actually quite refreshing. With Cory's bad foot and Tom running so many miles on Monday morning, the Monday noon run had basically been reduced to Nathan and me. I was excited today when Bill Rieske IM-ed me and asked to run with us. Then I ran into Darin in the locker room and he asked to run with us, too. I think Darin and Nathan had to hold back to stay with Bill and me, but it was a very enjoyable run as we conversed a lot and ran just over an 8:00 pace. The weather was very nice.
