AM solo run in the dark again. Not much to say about this run, pretty much uneventful, like yesterday I didn't see a single other runner/walker out. Legs were feeling a bit dead as I expected they might. I will be good to have Kim back, she's flying home today. Average pace 8:55.

Excellent, Mr Dedication! It's a lonely life on some of those early am runs. Have you given anymore thought to running Ogden? Peer pressure, it always works!

From Tom on Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 08:50:02

Mike - I'm still mulling....need to think a bit about the Ogden thing. My current thinking is that I won't be doing it. I'm pretty sure our ward father/son campout is that same day as well as a few other factors working against running it.

But thanks for the peer pressure just the same :)

With all the runners down your way I didn't think it was possible to go out for a run without seeing someone else :) Sometimes I really enjoy the time alone, but there are many other times when it would be nice to have some company. We'll have to get together for an early morning run again one of these Saturdays.

Kerry it would be great to do a Saturday Provo river trail run again. I think Nathan will soon be scheduling the WBR team runs on some upcoming Saturdays.
