5th mile was a 7:29.  Others were in the 8:30-8:45 range.

Didn't have my watch, but I ran a route that I'm pretty familiar with.  Easy run.

Paul Thomas suggested a WBR team run from the gas station at the mouth of Provo Canyon up to Vivian Park and back.  I got there a minute or to late, but managed to catch Paul, Wayne and Larry a couple of miles into the run.  Ran with Paul to the turn around point, then Wayne & Larry on the way back.  Fun run.  Our WBR team will be fun to be part of.

Stayed inside on the treadmill today - it was a little colder than I would ahve liked.

I did 5 half-mile intervals which ranged from 7:30 to 7:00 minutes per mile, with a 1/3 mile rest between each interval.

I ran inside on the treadmill today.  I wanted to do more, but didn't leave enough time at the end of the day.  First 3 miles were pretty easy.  I ran the last one in 7:30.

Ran with Mike Elquist and his running group.  They did a 6 mile route starting at the Spanish Fork Clinic that ran to the end of the river trail and back.  The most amusing parts of the run for me were 700 dogs that barked at us, and the number of wrong turns I almost made in trying to get back.  It was fun to run with other people.

I've got a lot of catching up to do on my blog.  I've been running okay, but not writing anything at all.

I ran from my house to Novell to pick up my car that I'd left from the night before.  I added a little to the end of the run to make an even 12.

Wanted to do 7 miles, but I got about 1.5 miles into my run when the thunder and lightening started.  I was running under some powerlines and saw them flash, so I turned around and came ack to work.  I was drenched by the time I got back.

Wouldn't you know it though, by the time I'd showered and changed the rain had stopped.  I'm looking out the window right now and the sky is blue with the sun shining.

At least the weather wasn't similar to what Paul, Kerry & Tom saw in Boston today.

No running, but I did play ultimate frisbee.  I love that game.  Lots of sprinting and lateral motion which I don't get when I run.
