6.3 miles @ 8:53/mi with Wayne up Provo Canyon.

It was a great run that I really enjoyed.

The only problem was that the blister I got on Friday, and aggravated with the run on Saturday, and that I thought was feeling better, got even worse on today's run. With the marathon two weeks I way, I may have to not run at all until this blister heals. It's about the size of a quarter on my left instep and feels pretty deep. I'd rather taper, but I guess an abrupt stop will give not only the blister but other parts of my body a chance to heal up. It is what it is.
