Leslie, Odee and I ran 4 nice, easy miles on the Pipeline Trail up Millcreek Canyon. Odee found lots of dogs to play with.

It was pretty cute. When I showed up to pick up Leslie and Odee, Odee was all ready with his running pack on and kept barking to tell Leslie to hurry up and finish breakfast because he was raring to go.

After the run, I did a 1 mile time trial on the road in Millcreek Canyon. A couple of good downhills, some few flats, two small uphill sections. I ran it in 7:43 and felt like I wanted to throw up and sounded like a freight train - but was pretty pleased with myself on doing that after a 4 miler.

Thanks! I have to admit I am proud of myself. I also have to admit that it was a lot more work than I normally will ever want to do.
