City Creek Canyon, felt good.

Did a fartlek on my city creek canyon loop, 21 intervals.  Then back home for a quick bite to eat and my first time to yoga for athletes, as saying I'm not flexible is an understatement a couple things were out of my reach.  But a decent workout just the same.

Not hurting too bad from my first yoga sesh.  Got out and did 10 miles on BST above the U, while starting my add on up red butte canyon a large unleashed dog started loping at me so I stopped.  When it looked like the owner had it under control I continued on my run, but the dog turned around and started charging and jumped on me.  I start yelling at the owner and she calls me an idiot for "running away" from the dog.  Technically yes, but more I was just continuing on my merry way.  I yelled at her about proper leash use, which she was holding in her hand in front of her open liftgate as she prepared to leave.  As she continued to yell at me as I continued on my way I may have called her a dumb female dog.  I just don't understand how people still don't understand how to properly control a dog, it's not the dogs fault it behaves a dog it's the responsibility of the owner to have it under control at all times for everyone's safety.

And no I didn't know that your dog was friendly as it charged at me.

AM: Up dry creek to terrace hills on the shoreline trail, another run and yoga on for tonight so I took it a little easy. Also there's a groupon for a trail race up at Snowbird this weekend for anyone interested.

PM: 5.5 mile run to Liberty with a stop for yoga for athletes at city centered yoga. Yeah I'm pretty hungry.

Got a late start, and was bit by the heat.  But that's ok since it's good training for the 5k back in NY next weekend.  Hidden Peak Hustle tomorrow, Hollah!

Well wasn't planning on racing, but then a groupon for this race popped up so I jumped in.  One guy took off like a bat out of hell and was rewarded by getting lost and not finishing.  If I had known this I would have been a little more reckless on the downhills to beat the guy who won.  He would pull away on the descent and I would make it all up on the climb.  Last half mile was down switchbacks though so I said 2nd is as good as 3rd lets not break myself before TOU in 3 weeks.  But gah he was actually in the lead.  "Appropriated" many hammer gels and fizz tabs and won a holdey water bottle at the raffle so I think I made it out pretty good.  Back to NY on Wednesday for my college cross country reunion weekend!
