6.9 miles @ 15:08/mi.  Water tank foothills with Wayne, Larry & Jo.

Very enjoyable easy run with good friends I haven't been able to run with for a while. It got a little hot, but there was a good breeze for most of the run. We're all getting old but we're not dead yet. We ran into Gary and Lynne near the end of our run. They are both older than all of us. Gary is 75. He's had hip replacement and she's had knee replacement. They were 10 miles into a 20 mile run, and had done 20 miles last Saturday also. I guess there's hope for a few more years of running for us youngsters (I'm the baby at 55.)
