8.29.  Last night fender bender.  Not really any damage. But woman very upset. Troy said she stopped suddenly.   Anyway I was looking at my phone. It was a whiplash hit.  Felt strong. Thought entire car was damaged.  But not much noticed at the scene. Except whiplash. All on right side.  Brooke larsons reception. Was tonight. Then we went to byu soccer game. And it was on way home. Merging on a roll way stop turning right on to canyon. 
so slept in.  Missed the 20 miler.   Drove to the church and ran toward canyon and o was about to mile 1 when they were heading out so that was perfect as they had a little over  7 miles left.    Ran to alpine highway. Turned right then onto trail over to janes then to Becca's.  At that point I had 2.7 more. They had 3.  We ran out and back 1.5 miles.  Last mile 6:58.  First mile 9:00.  Mostly up for 0.9 of it.   Avg for the 8. -7:38.  Avg for the 7 -7:26
