run, run, run

Spanish Fork, UT 6:30 am

Pace: 8:31

Usually I run to work when I'm in Utah, but my wife isn't on the rental car, so I just went for a run around Spanish Fork. I went most of the way to Springville and then back. A nice run. Great weather (a little chilly). I saw a dead deer along the side of the road and ran past a pen full of goats.

Took a lunch run with Matt today. A nice route through the pastures and along the railroad path. At one point there was a herd of cattle being driven down the road. We thought we would have to weave through them (watching our steps of course) but we made it to the intersection before they did.

Another pretty cold morning. I took a loop through Spanish to the other side of the freeway and back. Felt pretty good.

Matt tried to kill me today. Really it was my fault. We were up on S. State street heading into Springville and he said this is where he goes up to run on the Bonneville Shoreline trail -- but we don't want to do that today. Then I said something stupid like, if you have time, I'm up for it. It was some pretty good hill climbing, but a great run. Nice views of the valley. But it wore me out. Haven't been doing much hill work lately.

Drove back from Utah Thursday night and was really tired. So I took Friday off. I decided to go ten this morning, just to get my weekly mileage up to 40. Still not sure why that matters. It was a great morning for a run. Mid 40s and sunny. Today was the Zeitgeist half (I think). I didn't sign up for it this year. This morning's run was easier and shorter.
