Larry and Wayne had conflicts and couldn't meet me at noon as planned so I went alone. The showers in Building K worked out well for me today. Tom Creighton was returning from his run as I finished up showering and I talked with him a bit. It sounds like there is no real group running routine; there are a few guys who just run when they can. That will probably be my plan as well, so I guess I'll fit right in.

The weather was awesome today, especially for being mid-November. I ran up to Provo Canyon and back for a total of about 6.5 miles. I satisfied my curiosity today about where the canal road goes SE from the old WP buildings. It basically follows the canal to 800 North then ends. I didn't look too well used and now I know why. It's a much nicer run to follow the streets through that area and avoid having to run on 800 North to the canyon.

My Achilles didn't really bother me today, but I didn't push the pace too much anyway. I averaged 8:21/mi for 6.5 miles.

I ran 6.2 miles on the canal road at noon. It was sunny and warm. Karen made me a scrambled egg sandwich for lunch. I think going home at noon to run might work out well.

Larry, Wayne and I ran some easy miles on the new Lindon path down to west Lindon and back. The sun was just coming up as we started and soon took the chill away. It was a beautiful and enjoyable run.

My left Achilles was great for about 4 miles but bothered me a little the last half of the run. I wonder sometimes what it would be like to be able to run as hard as I want without having to worry about injuries, but where's the fun in that?...actually, there would be a lot of fun in that!

It's my Mom's 70th birthday today. I called her this morning to wish her a happy birthday. She seems to be doing great. We're going to visit next Thursday for Thanksgiving. Where would I be without my angel mother? I dread to think. Throughout my life, I've always known that there was at least one person in this world that loved me no matter what. And I love her back with all my heart. So much of what good there is in me is because of her. I love you, Mom! Happy Birthday!
