The girlys and I ran the speedy spaniard course this morning around 5ish. We were running pretty fast. Apparently mile 4 was a 7:19. Avg was about 7:30. It felt a little tough in and out. At one point I think we all felt like puking- not sure why or what was so different today?

I think we passed by Tyler S. and a friend.  Shortly thereafter we passed a dog that looked similar to a pit or a boxer and he didn't look nice. We ignored it and kept going. Luckily it left us alone.

Towards the end of the course, Merri was telling us to speed up when turning corners so I did. After that I couldn't stop running quickly. Off I went and ran that way the last .4 mile?  I hope at the race we don't get killed in the beginning on the run up that park hill. How moronic is that?  :)

We had that same dog come after us on the way out! But on the way back it kind of tried to bite Rich! It does look like a pit bull or something. We had to stop and chase him off he was getting a little to close! Good job on the pace today! You should be around 7:15-7:20 on race day! If not faster!

I hate uphill starts! That's how the freedom run in provo is on Saturday, it does have a nice down hill after but that uphill from the very beginning is such a buzzkill!

That dog nearly gave me a heart attack!
