AM - Standard Sasha House 10 Miler with Jeff and Sasha. Right lower leg still a bit tender just above the ankle. I am not sure of the reason why but it was not as bad as last night so ice and ibuprofin are helping. I am favoring it a bit during the run. We ran easy and chatted about a variety of topics today. We averaged just under 7:45. We also had a fairly active animal day. Early on Sasha had stopped and Jeff and I continued and a dog came charging at us that we had to stop and scare off. A few seconds later we heard the dog going after Sasha. After he caught up we passed an area where their is a rooster that sometimes greets us with his morning crow however this morning it sounded like he was doing a little warm-up session prior to crowing. Later on a large owl swooped down on the trail in front of us and perched on a tree branch above us as we passed. However, our most common sighting, the skunk, did not occur today. On the way back we discovered the new tunnel under Geneva Road is finally complete and we utilized it for the first time. It will be nice to not have to negotiate the traffic or construction any longer and Sasha says it adds .04 to the run. Hopefully the leg feels better this evening and I can get in a couple more miles. PM - 4 more miles tonight. 3.5 with James at about 7:45 pace then .3 with Jordan. Leg was not hurting tonight which is a good thing. I guess that means I will join Sasha up in Salt Lake tomorrow.
