Wayne, Kevin, Kent and I ran from the neighborhood up to the water fountain in Provo Canyon and back. Larry met us before the run, but only to tell us he was sick, which is why he hadn't been out all week. His dog Ozzie decided to run with us anyway. Larry came and picked him up after a bit.

I was a little hesitant to run towards the canyon after how cold and windy it was last week, but it wasn't bad this week.

Nice to see you're alive and well Paul after your brief blogging hiatus since Painters.

Sometimes life gets busy. I figured it was better to run and not blog than blog and not run, although some of that time I didn't blog or run. I'll try to keep doing both if time allows.
