I didn't run on Monday. Traveled to Utah and then got busy.

Ran from one end of Spanish Fork to the other. SF isn't a very big town.

Lunchtime run with Matt. He took me on a fun route. Lots of back roads, and trails. Who knew there was such a cool route right by the office.

Same morning route as yesterday. Race tomorrow, so I didn't want to run too far today.

This was my third time doing this race and my last race of 2011. I really wanted to finish under 20 minutes this time. If the course was flat, I think I would have made it -- but this course wasn't flat. The weather was nice in the mid 40s, but the wind was blowing. I felt good about my effort and I did PR. 1:23 faster than my best 5k and 3:03 faster than my previous best in this race. So this was a good race for me.

After I crossed the finish line, I went back to find my wife and finish with her. She had a bad day. A side stitch slowed her way down, but she pushed it for the final stretch.

Slept in this morning and then went for a run in Spanish. I ran across town and then out into the farmland. About mile 3 I was zoning out, listening to some Dylan when a mean looking dog started chasing me. He stopped short of eating me, but it did wake me up.

Started on Bountiful Blvd and ran over to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Took it all the way to where it hits pavement in Salt Lake City and back. Great views, steep hills, a good time.
