Because of the morning rain, I chose to run at lunch. I ran the Eagle's View run with Cory, Nathan, Darin, and Will. I managed to stay with the group most of the way but Darin, Cory, and Nathan pulled away near the end. I finished in 39:09, average pace 7:50. The pace out and up was about 8:15, down and back was about 7:25.

Standard Tuesday morning run with Kevin and Kent. Kevin wanted to push more, but Kent and I were content with an easier run today. Average pace about 8:35.

We planned to leave at 5:30am so Kevin could get back for his kids' soccer games. He overslept so I rang his doorbell and got him up. I wasn't about to let him sleep in when we were leaving early for him. :-)

Kevin, Kent, Larry, Wayne, and I ran what turned out to be a "memory lane" sort of run to south Orem, and then a pleasant run back up Palisade in east Orem. It ended up being an enjoyable, easy pace (about 9:20), 13 mile run.
