Slept in and didn't run until almost 7:30am. It was nice to not run in the dark.

I pushed mile 4 in 7:57.

5.1 miles @ 9:04/mi. Murdock/Lindon loop with Kevin.

First day this fall under 40°, and first day running in long pants. I used to wait for sub-30° for long pants, but I'm getting wimpy in my old age.

8 miles @ 9:51/mi. Murdock trail north with Kevin, Wayne, and Larry.

It was great having the four of us out running together again. It's been a rare occrrence of late. Larry & Ozzie turned back after 2 miles. It was a chilly, beautiful autumn morning. The sunrise was beautiful and at one point both the eastern and western skies were lit with pinkish clouds.

Our splits got progressively faster until the last cool down mile:
13:26, 12:12, 9:48, 9:18, 8:54, 8:25, 7:56, 8:51

These were my splits. Kevin was faster on the fast mile. Wayne was just slightly slower. I'm just grateful that we old guys are still able to run miles together.
