It was 39 degrees and raining steadily this morning.  I ran up to the meeting spot for the group and 2 other brave souls showed up.  Way to go Jeff and Craig, 2 of our newer runners.  I ran with Jeff and Craig did his miles alone.

After the group run I decided to get at least 10 total by running the top of Satterfield a couple times.  I was just finishing the last loop when I ran in to Kristin who was going the other way.  I decided to run a longer loop with her to finish off.  I ended up with 12.52 rain-soaked miles.

It was 40 degrees and sunny....a beautiful morning.  I ran over to Barry's house and then Chad joined us later.  We decided to drop in a tempo mile after we had gone 5 miles and I managed a 5:56!!!  That is my best mile in a couple years.  I had a couple other really nice miles scattered in the run as well.  Total of 15.11 miles.  7 days til Utah Valley :)
