I wimped out and didn't want to run in the steady rain in the morning. I hoped it would clear up by noon so I could run, but it didn't.

6.1 miles @ 10:46/mi. Water tank hills with Wayne and Kevin.

It was great running the water tank hills with old friends again. It's still as steep as ever. Kevin is still the hill king. I don't he's affected by gravity as much as the rest of us.

We took it easy coming down except Kevin and I pushed the Fast Half Mile from 400 E to Main on 1600 N at 6:50/mi.

6 miles @ 10:07/mi. 2000 N/Dry Canyon/Shoreline trail/1600 N with Kevin

When I don't feel like running fast I like to do uphills so my slow pace doesn't look so bad in my blog. I did manage 7:10/mi for 0.5 mile down 1600 N.

It was a beautiful morning and a very enjoyable run.

5.6 miles @ 9:07/mi Solo run in Vernal on vacation

I started from Best Western Antlers and headed north then west to Uintah High School then took a more wandering course back, looping around the Vernal LDS Temple and back to the hotel.

I pushed one mile at 7:20/mi but mostly ran easy pace and enjoyed viewing the area on a beautiful morning. I was impressed with the parks and sports fields. I'm especially impressed by the beautiful flowers all up and down Main street. Overall I got the feeling that Vernal is a well run city and a great place to live. We really enjoyed our brief visit.
