6 miles @ 8:53/mi. Murdock/Lindon loop.

I was expecting to meet Lyle and Kevin this morning. Due to a lengthy bathroom visit, I was a tiny bit late getting out the door. I ran towards the direction Lyle comes from, but after a block or two I began to fear he had already gone by. I turned and headed towards Kevin's house. I picked up the pace and held it for most of the 6 miles, but I never did see Lyle or Kevin. I don't know if I missed them or they didn't get out. Oh well. It was a good run anyway.

3.25 miles @ ? (watch error)

I ran with Wayne and Kevin from Timpanogos Park to Vivian Park and back. Our watches had trouble connecting with the satellites at times.

We stayed together on the way up. Kevin had to get back so he pushed a little faster on the way back and Wayne told me to go with him. We ran 8:15-8:30-ish pace until Nunn's Park. I sent Kevin ahead and stopped at the bathroom. I then waited for my watch to lock back in. I wanted to push the two miles from Nunn's to Timpanogos and wanted to know my pace.

The Army soldiers were there again today. They do some fitness tests that include that 2 mile run. I ran the first mile in 7:11, very good for me. I had slowed to around 7:30 the second mile but then the first Army runner passed me. I hung onto him from behind (not literally) and ran 7:06 pace the second mile, passing Wayne with about 1/4 mile to go.

Very enjoyable morning.
