This morning's run was down in St George, Utah. Commonly referred to as Utah's Dixie.
We are down here for a high school baseball tournament. So my 20 year old son accompanied me this morning.
 The sun was shining brightly, the air was about 40, with a chill. We ran from the hotel towards the Confluence Trail, but the underpass under the freeway was closed for construction. So we walked towards the overpass, right along the river and were able to run along till we came to a temporary chain link fence on the other side. But tromping through the bushes and shrubs, we were able to circle around the fence and connect with the trail. We crossed the river on a wooden bridge and continued on till we hit 2 miles. We stopped and enjoyed the peaceful scenery from a second wooden bridge, then headed back towards our hotel. We stuck to the roads and crossed the freeway on sidewalks, and even increased our pace about .25 from the end of our run.
Miles and time were 4.17 miles in 53 minutes. But this included stopping to check out a route under the freeway, tromping through bushes for a minute, contemplating the scenery for a minute, a bathroom stop (for me) and waiting at 2 signals. So i guess the time was acceptable!
But it was great to have Chris run with me!!
