I felt a bit better today, I wasn't very sore any more. I did another early run in the dark. I went up 1000 North hill, then down and up 1200 East and turned it into a Lundstrom park 5 mile loop. As I was running the dark streets of North Logan, on the corner of 1200 East and 1900 North (that heads upto Green Canyon), I ran head on into what I thought was my end. It was pitch-black outside, and all I new is that the creature was bigger than I was by what I could pick out from the body outline and the position of the glowing eyes. I was relieved when I realized that it was a four-point buck and not a massive cougar or something else that could eat me. We about ran right into each other, and I scared him as bad as he scared me. My heart rate probably went up 50 bpm after the startling. I was able to maintain a good strong pace after my encounter and ended up with a good run and a good scare.

Tonight I ran to the Field house and played Basketball for over an hour, and ran home. |
