super fun run today. It was half adventure run half regular. We started out doing hobbit hole, which Josh E. has never done before. We then went on the black trail and turned towards Lehi Dip. By this time is was only craik, lil' warner, seth, josh E., and me.  We ran through some good sized dirt piles while lil' warner told us all about stuff we didn't really have any interest in. We ran through a backyard and the house next door had a few small dogs that started to chase us. Small dogs are the scariest. We sprinted through the backyard only to come to a dip 6-8 feet deep with a river in it. We all jumped down and crossed the river, I didn't even get my shoes wet! We then went through the field with the longhorns in it. Then we ran back to Legacy and stood around for 30 minutes and talked. Learned some useful and interesting stuff about patos.  Fun stuff.  I might run more later. 

When I say later, I usually mean in the evening, but I had nothing to do so I went 2 hours after I got home from practice. After waking up from a 45 minute nap feeling very refreshed I ran a little past mountain ridge and back. Not the most exciting run, but the extra miles were hurting, and that's a good thing ( not the injured hurt, the usual hurt). 5.9 miles total, 7:12 average pace. Last 2 miles were around 6:10 pace, and they were uphill.
