1:20:30 AP 10:04 Left at 6am and met a friend I haven't run with before. She had a head light for me and she hah her dog. It was warmer out this morning than I expected. Smelled like rain too. Love that. We ran up Newcastle and met up with another friend I had never met. Ran all the way up Newcastle and past the fence. My first time venturing past. We ran on the trail up to La Caille. Before taking the right fork to the narrow trail, I saw two glowing eyes up ahead and my heart started racing. Didn't know what it was. It was another dog, off a leash and way ahead of its owner. It started barking and seemed to be attacking Hobbes (my friends dog). She wasn't that worried and just said that dog was trying to prove he was the alpha dog. Whatever. Just put your dog on a leash people! Anyway, I imagined it being wide open the whole way up but we went to the right and it narrowed and became a small running trail and I did see the colored leaves at one point when I looked up. I was looking at my feet most the time and trying to be careful but of course I totally twisted my left foot at one point cause I'm such a clutz (sp?). I want to go back when it's light so I can see where we ran. Went up to Wasatch and left there down to Danish. Down to Creek road to Highland and up Highland to home. It was fun to do something different. I guess these two run together Mon, Wed and Sat. Deb, my friend with the dog, is running the Ogden marathon and is looking to qualify for Boston someday. Not sure if she trying to qualify during Ogden 2011. I'll ask her. I think her qualifying time is 4:0. Mine is 3:45. Next year it'll be 3:50. Still thinking about it...
