Last real long run before SGM. Did the same run that I did last week, up Little Mountain and down Emigration Canyon to my house. Did 5 mile pick up at marathon pace or faster down Emigration (6:26, 6:23, 6:38, 6:10, 6:12). Finished up the run with an average of 7:04. I did this run faster than last week and definitely felt better this week. So, hopefully that is a good sign for SGM.
As I was coming down Emigration Canyon and just about to the bottom of the canyon, I am almost positive I saw a mountain lion. I was about 0.5 mile from Hogle Zoo and there is a cement barrier on the south side of the road. As I approached the barrier, I say something sitting on it. It looked like a cat, only it was big. I immediately stopped running. It jumped off and went down the hillside. Then I saw two of them together, it looked like a mom and her cub. Luckily they ran off with no issue. I tried to get some pics, but wasn't able to get anything good.
