10 miles to finish another solid week of mileage that doesn't feel nearly as high as it is. I ran with Mike for the first 7.5 but he wasn't feeling well so he went home and I did a little more on my own, coming back from my little loop I passed this dinner thing, not sure who it was for but it had ice cream, it was really good ice cream, so that was another boost to the day. We went easy today but I picked it up the last couple miles. Oh yeah, I hit a deer with my car on the way home from true t bird night friday, that was exciting, theres a new dent in my car. But seriously I couldn't have even done anything, I saw the first deer and I slowed down to let it pass and then the next one comes out of no where and runs straight into my car as I'm slowing down, it was fine though so whatever. I'm getting into really good shape, I'm way faster than I was when I raced BYU so I think I will surprise some people at color country in 2 weeks.
