Craig Hudman - Simply Live

Last big training run before Utah Valley. Set out early and had a beautiful morning run. Saw a few deer and did all the hills I haven't seen in quite a while. Met my wife at mile 19 to finish off. She was a wreck. I guess two dogs (they came after me earlier) came after her and our dog and bit him. She was pretty upset and crying when she got to me. I got her calmed down and we headed for home. A different dog, the one I wanted to kill last year came out after us. I raise a pretty good ruckus yelling at him and the owner actually came out and called him back. Then his wife drove down to catch up to us and ask us if we were ok. My wife is too nice so I held my tongue a little. As we approached where the other dogs live I got a couple of rocks in my hands. Both came out again, both got hit by rocks and I'm about half tempted to get my shotgun and kill all three. I hate people who don't take care of their dogs. Mine doesn't leave my yard without me and would never attack another dog or person. These dogs may die at some point during the summer or become seriously maimed.   

1800 feet of climbing in this run, right at 3 hrs, I felt  pretty good but it got tough when Nikki slowed me down for the last 5 I could tell my legs wanted to go faster. Did get a few a MP but really wasn't trying, tried more to hold back and be contained. No need to kill myself in training.
