6 miles @ 9:04/mi. Murdock/Lindon loop.

The "feels like" temp was 18, and it was pretty dark even with the DST change. The extra clothing slowed me down but kept me warm. I enjoyed the uptempo running in the cold and dark. I averaged 8:48/mi for the middle 4 marathon pace miles. Not spectacular, but acceptable under the conditions.

1.6 miles @ 9:56/mi 2000 N uphill
8.5 miles @ 10:48/mi Dry Canyon trailhead, foothills, Timpanogos park, Murdock trail, steep hill back to Dry Canyon road
2.0 miles @ 8:29/mi 2000 N downhill

Kevin and I didn't really know where we were headed when we started, but we were both okay with that. There seemed to be a lot of uphill today, but I enjoyed the whole run. The single track trail running portion was most enjoyable. It was a little chilly at times, but I was dressed well for it. I know we need the moisture from the snow, but I've enjoyed the sunny, chilly, autumn days.

Near the end of our run Kevin was telling me some interesting things about Steve Young he'd read recently. He mentioned that as a freshman Steve Young was 8th on the QB depth chart behind, among others, Royce Bybee, a neighbor and fellow runner. As Kevin and I started the climb back up to Dry Canyon, we saw Jo Marshall driving down. Kevin's knee was bothering him so she drove him back up to his car. I decided to run down 2000 N back home. At the Murdock trail I happened to cross paths with Martin Wright and Royce Bybee and got to hear Royce's view of those days. Very interesting and enjoyable. So many blessings from running.
