I rolled out around six, and wen't a couple extra.  Took the road to Farmington, then up to Freedom Hills for a drink.  No dogs attacked me.  Then up to BST to come home.  It was a lovely morning to run with no shirt.  Too bad I put one on.  8:24 overall pace, which isn't too bad considering all the climbing.

So this was the usual run along BST to Freedom Hills, but with some company.  My son's friend's brother, Tanner came along for the ride.  He ran in Ragnar, and ever since then has been threatening to come running with me.  We matched up pretty well, despite that he hasn't run over 4-5 miles since June.  There was a good sunset, but it was all the way dark coming home on the road.  I might need to break out the reflective vest again.  Despite the darkness, it was still pretty hot.

My hip and left lower leg feel the same.  No better, no worse, so I guess I'll keep wearing on them.  I'm looking forward to the trail 10k in Sep, Marathon in Oct, Halloween Half, then a 10k on Thanksgiving.  I can't decide if it's worth going all the way to Moab for the Winter Sun 10k.  If I took the family....maybe.

Very uninspired miles on the treadmill.  The girls were watching Spongebob.  Mr. Krabs turned into a robot.  A few questions:  Should a kid's show have a main character named Krabs?  What exactly is the nature of Spongebob and Patricks relationship?  Is it more complicated than their buffoonery indicates?  Or are they simply two infantile sea creatures that live in close proximity and spend an inordinate amount of time blowing bubbles and chasing jelly fish?

Note to self:  Don't watch Spongebob while treadmilling.

I did this run in the no food zone, no breakfast.  The temperature was around 56; very nice.  I headed west to the train trail, north to 400 N. then 1100 W, down to legacy, to Parrish Lane, then home on 400 E.  I kept the pace at or below 7 minutes for 2 miles, then I'd walk for 30 seconds or something.  Everything felt all right, but my hip and tibia are typically sore now.  This was a solid effort for me.  It's really going to take some doing to be able to string 26 miles together at that pace and run a sub 3.
