Ran alone.  John is still injured.  Pulled hamstring.  Not sure when he will be ready again.

As for me, I ran 4.66 miles in 40:39 for an average pace of 8:44/mile.  Temperature was 74 degrees, a little warm for me.

Last night, John requested that I run with him this morning.   But, as soon as he took a few steps, he got a sharp pain in his hamstring again, even though it didn't hurt much last night.

As for me, my left knee still hurts from the bike trip, but my quads are feeling a lot better today.  After a very slow start, I ended up running 4.61 miles in 40:48 for an average pace of 8:51/mile.  Mile 4 was 7:53.

It was time to step it up a little today.  I ran farther than I hiked last Saturday, but I think hiking Deseret Peak was more fun.  I worked pretty hard to get 10.14 miles in 1:27:23 for an average pace of 8:37/mile.  Hopefully, I didn't overdo it.
