I chose to go with the afternoon run again today, and once again I actually got it in. I decided to run up to what I've decided to call "The Fountain of Youth". It's the fountain (near Timpanogos Park on the Provo River Parkway) that runs continuously. The cool water is especially refreshing on hot summer days, but I found it refreshing today as well, as it served as my turn around point on my 9.2 mile run. Similar to Saturday, I tried to run a steady press-forward kind of pace without pushing it too hard. This course was slightly longer and had more ups and downs, but I still managed to average about 8:07/mi and felt pretty good at the end, running the last 0.6 miles (gradual downhill) at a 7:21 pace. I'm cautiously optimistic about putting my injuries behind me (knock on wood).
