We used to get 4 or 5 guys out to run in the mornings. Most days lately it's just been me. Kent hasn't run since St. George last year, so his son Kurt doesn't run with us anymore either. Kevin broke his leg, and now Larry is having toe problems. This morning I headed up 1600 North then up the hills by the former WordPerfect buildings then wandered down through Lindon and back home. I noticed that the names of the streets I climbed in the first couple of miles (Mountain Oaks, High Country, Oakcrest, Skyline) all seem to hint that they may not be flat. This was the first time I've run up these streets and it was a pretty good climb.
I ran a pretty easy pace throughout the 6.5 miles I wandered this morning. It was a beautiful morning and I just wandered down through Lindon. I'm not even sure I could retrace where I went, but I enjoyed it. It would have been more enjoyable with some company. I enjoy an occasional solo run, but there has been a few too many of them recently. It will be great be with the relay team this weekend, and with so many other runners.
