I was planning to run with Larry and Wayne this morning, but with the strong wind and rain I guess they decided to run later. I saw Lyle running past when I was at the "meeting corner" so I ran with him. I hadn't run or talked with him for a while until I dropped off my son's car at his shop the day before. He told me he signed up for the Utah Valley marathon in June, and he's also planning on St. George. He's in his 50's and only started running 2 or 3 years ago but it appears he has caught the running bug. Lyle was only going about 4 miles so I went another couple of miles alone. I only averaged about 9:30/mi in the wind and rain, and I think I slowed down after Lyle stopped. Oh well, miles are miles...and getting out on bad weather days builds character...like digging holes...right?
