I ran six easy miles with Larry through Lindon. It was cold, but mostly it was dark. It took a lot of faith at times to keep running into the darkness. We only averaged about 9:30/mi. I think the pace might have been considerably quicker if we could have stepped forward with more confidence. I'll either have to start wearing my headlamp on dark mornings, or convince Larry to run on the better lit streets of Orem. I think one of the issues is that Larry's dog runs with us, and the streets of Lindon are a little safer (less traffic). |
