15 easy miles this morning. No pain from yesterdays speed I 'm glad to say.

about 12 miles into the run I was daydreaming and looked down to see a rattle snake just a bit bigger then a pencil. In mid stride I was just able to miss the little guy.

I hear the baby rattle snakes are worse then the adult ones. I was nervus the rest of my run and kept thinking every tig on the road was a snake. I just glad to be alive to run other run.

I hate snakes my biggest fear when running. Your training has been going great. Awesome job on your mile repeats. I think you should be able to hit a great time up at Top of Utah

Do you know Cody Draper? He is on the blog and is from Logan. He will probably be running around the same pace as you at Top of Utah.

I recognize the name. I'm sure I know him by face.

I think he may have blogged me once about Logan already.

Thanks man. I'm hoping for a PR. I'm not sure by how much with the course being slower then St. George.

I'm going to start out running a 6:18 which is my current PR pace and then push the last half.

I don't want to start out too fast and not be able to PR. I've made that mistake before.

I was planning on running a 5:50 pace in St. George, but I did get in as you know. Logan is supposed to be slower, so I'll slow the pace some and hopefully still PR.

We'll see what happens. I'm getting excited.
