8.04 miles / 1:05:39 / 8:10 A.P. / Provo River Trail I loved running today. Mostly. The first 3 miles sucked it up--I just didn't feel it. But during the last mile before the turnaround (and my slowest mile of the day) things improved drastically. The 4 miles back to the car were all sub 8! On another note, I think I'm going to petition the county, or whoever is responsible for that trail, to ban idiots and long-boarders. Mostly they are both the same, but today I had a guy walking two mini-dogs and he was letting them wander wherever the heck they wanted to go--which included right in front of me. I mumbled some choice words under my breath as I hopped and skipped over his dogs and their leashes--idiot. When I was heading back down he pretty much did the same thing as we passed again only this time we glared at each other. And then there's the long boarders. I can't count the number of times while I've been on a bike they've nearly caused me to crash because they don't understand where their lane is or why they should be there when being passed or passing--idiots! I'll stop ranting now or I'll cross the civil and respectful line we've been asked not to.
