Solo. Orem library route. 6.2 miles at 9:58/mi. I maintain a pretty strong and consistent effort, but the old legs just didn't want to turn over this morning.

Short Lindon loop with Kevin and Larry. I was beat from the basketball game the night before. We only had 5 players (no subs) and it was a close game. Fortunately we lost by 3 and don't have to play in the tournament at the next level. It was hard just holding 10:00 pace this morning.

Kevin worked me again this morning. I only averaged 9:05/mi, but I had to work for it. As I told Kevin this morning, I'm feeling roughly the same aches and pains, but I'm gradually getting in more mileage at slightly faster paces, so that's progress.
