| Another evening 4 mile run on the canal road with my wife. On the way back we were running towards a lightening storm. What a show across the sky. I'm feeling stronger every day. |

| 5-1/2 mile run up Perry Canyon. Three Mile Creek has flowing too fast and deep to take our usual crossing, so we had to go further up the canyon to a better crossing. It felt so good to get some significant hill training. |

| 3.1 miles on the neighborhood roads with my wife. It was her idea to run roads, I don't like pavement. |

| Dawn and I ran up Perry Canyon. While on the double track, 3 young guys were quite a ways ahead of us with backpacks. Their footprints were from flat-soled 'skater' shoes. I thought it was weird for hiking. A truck rapidly passed us (dusty). When we got to the top of the hill we saw 3 very sad guys, packs emptied on the ground exposing their liquor bottles. 'Officer Friendly' was telling them there will be no party for them tonight. Amazing what you can encounter on the trails. Added excitement to our run. |

| Ran 4.25 miles on the canal road with my wife. Our excitement tonight was our encounter with a rattlesnake that did not want to move. We turned around about 100 feet before our normal turn around, but ran past the house a bit further to make up for it. Yay, no leg/hip pain again tonight. |

| 5-1/2 mile run in Garden of the Gods (Colorado Springs, CO). Was in Colorado for my daughter's wedding open house. Amazing red and white rock formations. Saw a Big Horn Sheep standing on a rock silhouetted against the sky. Amazing run/views.  |

| I'm in trouble. It was strongly pointed out to me that my definition of 'fairly flat' and my wife's definition do not match. She said she was tired from our weekend trip, but was bored with our regular route. I suggested a new (to her) route. She asked if it was flat. I responded 'fairly flat'. She was not pleased, but it was a great run and great workout with lots of cardio. 5.75 miles with a 'few' hills. |

| 4 miles on the canal road with my wife. She thought she would try to beat me to our turn-around point. My competitive side kicked in and we both picked up the pace. Killer mosquitoes, had to outrun them too. Fun run. |

| 6 mile run. My wife wanted to 'change it up' so we ran the roads into Brigham City, ate dinner and ran back. When you know you have to run after eating it really makes you watch your portion sizes. I didn't want to see my dinner again on the way home. We did have a fun time. |

| 4 mile run on the canal road with my wife. I was feeling good and ran at a faster than normal pace. It was still hot when we started and my wife did not do well in the heat, lagging a bit behind. |

| First race since being injured in April. Last year I won my age group. This year I came in 10th. Hips were really tight. Couldn't get my stride going at all. I still have a lot of work to do. |
