4 miles @ 10:13/mi

I ran the first mile in 10:07 then stopped to drive the carpool to school. Immediately after, I ran the next three miles with splits of 9:53, 10:37, and 10:15. The last couple of miles had some stretches of moderate uphill. I maintained steady effort throughout. I'm quite satisfied with this run, and thrilled to be able to run again.

I couldn't help but notice your post this morning and was happy to see that you're back running. Sounds like you're on the mend. It looks like Tom is blogging as well (he probably never stopped :)

I should be in your neighborhood today and tomorrow as Timpanogos is hosting a track meet. My daughter is running the 1600 today and the 3200 tomorrow. She's running much better this year, but is just getting over a bad cold. She isn't quite sure how she'll do.

Let me know when you schedule any races.
