I got an email from one of my Ragnar Wasatch Back teammates inviting us to go on a run at Las Sendas.  I wasn't sure if I was going to make it even though I wanted to because of my chronic (do you like that word?) back aches.  But I decided to go, just to see everyone.  Unfortunately I was late, and 'everyone' had left. 

I just finished eating three over-stuffed fajitas, so I took it easy.  I forgot my Garmin, but according to Map My Run I went 3.32 miles.  Out and back.  174 feet ascent and descent.  It felt like longer.  As I was driving away I saw Marilyn, the only other teammate that showed up and her cousin.  Kelli knows Marilyn.  She has a picture of her on her Facebook.

This morning I ran with my boss, although I don't think he'll be my boss for long, as business is slowing down.  I'm pretty sure I'll be let go soon.  But this isn't the Fast Pity Burt Blog.  It's the Fast Running Blog!  So on to the report.  I thought it was only a 4 mile jog to his house.  I headed up Lindsay and got to Brown.  Any Mountain View Toros in the house?  I was pretty sure there was a stop light at his street which I believed to be a half mile north of Brown, but I couldn't see one for another mile.  So I called him and asked  him if he lived half a mile north of Brown or north of McKellips.  He said half mile SOUTH of McKellips.  I told him I was passing the stadium so I should be there shortly.  But I never saw his street.  Finally I was getting close to McKellips and I knew I didn't pass it.  So I tried to call him again, but he didn't answer.  I turned around and ran back to the high school.  This time I knew for sure I didn't pass his street.  I stopped a kid on his bike and asked if hew knew where it was.  He said it was past McKellips.  So now I'm about a mile and a half away and it was already ten minutes after 5am.  Luckily my boss called and apologized for saying the wrong thing.  He told me he would come pick me up.  I was grateful because I had already gone 4.41 miles, and he wanted to run about 6.  My average pace for the warm up was 9:41.

Splits - 9:53, 9:38, 9:39, 9:35, 3:55 for 0.41 (9:37 pace)

He even offered me a ride home.  He likes to run a little loop which takes us into Lehi through the orange groves.  He says the temperature drops 5 degrees there, but it didn't feel like it.  By the way, I froze a Gatorade over night, and it had already melted completely before I was done with my warm up and the sun wasn't even up yet.  Anyway, the loop only ended up being about 5.43 miles, and I wanted to get an even 10, so I kept going a little bit to reach my mini goal.  Average pace 8:46.

Splits - 9:03, 8:50, 8:46, 8:50, 8:31, 5:01 for 0.59 (8:31 pace)
