Every Race is an Adventure!

5.5 miles @ 9:36/mi

Solo run on canal trail towards Cascade golf course. First time under the tunnel at 800 E. What a blessing the new trail is.

I know politicians get criticized often, and often rightly so. You can't please everyone all of the time, and we don't all share the same values and priorities. But in my opinion they have managed to accomplish some pretty good things around here, in the past and recently. Some examples that come to mind: Provo River Parkway, canal trail, Trax, FrontRunner, Orem city street lamps, many road projects including Pioneer Crossing and the new I-15 through Utah County. Credit should be given where credit is due. Thanks.

6 miles @ 10:02/mi

Wayne and I didn't let a few inches of new snow, and still falling, stop us and went ahead with our run up Provo Canyon. We ran what would normally be an easy pace, but it wasn't all that easy. I  felt like I'd run 8-10 miles at 9:30 pace instead of 6 miles at 10:00. We commented about how runs like these separate the weak from the strong, or more importantly, how they help us move from weaker to stronger. We both enjoyed and felt good about the run.
