AM-16 miles at lunchtime up to and through Wasatch Blvd. HIIT workout in the first segment and then easy in the middle with a pick up in pace again on the last 3 miles.

One thing I left out.. Mainly because I wasn't sure about identification of the bird. Just a short distance from the La Caille on Wasatch Blvd I had an encounter with a bird of prey I could of swore was a Peregrine falcon. It flew over to me from it's nest high in the trees and literally came within feet of me! It landed, then became airborne again, (Perhaps fetching lunch?) and hovered a bit until I had passed and then went back to it's high tree nest. I have to admit it was a bit scary... But exciting at the same time.
Anyway.. Something different on the run for me.

Cool. It's good to keep track of that sort of stuff in your log/blog. Over the decades you see lots of strange, awesome, and crazy things on your runs.

I had a similar experience where I thought a bird of prey was going to attack me down in St. George on a trail. It kept circling low right above me. Cool and scary!

Looked up Wikipedia on Peregrine falcon and now I'm convinced that's what I came across. Hard to believe isn't it that something so much smaller than you can be scary.. But then again those razor sharp talons and beak are enough to get my attention any day!

I should add I used to have a macaw so I'm kinda familiar with the beak and claws:)
