Had a nice run with Kim up/down (mostly down) Payson Canyon.  Lots of deer out and about and they seemed quite tame, they wouldn't run away until we got quite close to them.  Lots of cows too and unfortunately lots of lovely cow pies everywhere!  Also lots of bikers, walkers and a few other runners.

Kim also wanted some faster mile repeats for during last 5 miles we worked in 4 1-mile repeats starting in the low 8's with the last 2 being in the 7's.  Nice!

Experienced a strange feeling in the air out on the run this morning, then I remembered that thing called humidity!  So nice to see a little rain falling today.  Between the warm & muggy conditions and eating lots of junk yesterday I was a pretty sluggish the last few miles.

8:45/153 

In the evening went for 7 mile ride on the tandem bike with Kim.

Nice 16-miler with Kim, my longest run for quite a while.  Kim actually started a bit before me and got in 18.  Ran around the usual SF areas for about 10 miles then headed over to Springville where we had parked the car last night.

Thankful for the clouds that showed up just about the time the sun came out. After a quick trip to Mickey D's for some breakfast we went to the Hobbler Half finish line to watch runners come in and chat with friends.
