I drove over to Ogden and ran with Logan tonight. We did an out and back run over toward North Ogden. Some of the course was similar to other runs we have done in that area, and there are some rolling hills. It was good to run with Logan again because we haven't ran together since before Halloween. In fact, I haven't run with anyone since that time. We carried on some good conversation, mostly about the blog, track, and school. We started slow and finished with a decent pace, about like I usually do since having tendonitis. The pace was comfortable and was mostly in the upper 6:00s.
We didn't have any animal problems but there were a lot of jerks on the road tonight. One guy pulled right in front of us, started driving slow, stopped, and then spun out in the gravel trying to hit us with debris. Neither one of us realized what was going on until it was too late or we might have ran him down. Logan seemed a little more chapped about it than I was, probably because it happened on his turf. Some people are just born to be losers and you have to feel sorry for them. We didn't get hurt so I guess that is good, but I still get pretty fired up about things like that.
See we don't usually have uneventful runs in Northern Utah, there is always something going on. Good run, and good to run with Logan again. I felt good for being on my second day of comeback. The achilles was moderate tonight. Any I finally got my gear, I really like the singlet! 1:08:55
