SCARY SCARY SCARY run! My heart was beating out of my chest!!!

Miles 1-2 with Smo: Small Sunrise Loop. Just enjoying my time with my girl!

Miles 3-6 by my lonesome. Sun was just coming up. I had just passed my turn around point a little past George Washington Charter School. Headed south on 3000 East towards home. Suddenly I see a coyote walk out of the foliage. We were less than 50 feet away from each other on the same side of the road. He (or she) sees me at about the same time I see him. We both stop dead in our tracks and don't move. I can see a truck coming up the road. I think to myself (in a matter of milliseconds) that if I didn't move that the noise of the truck would scare the coyote away. (Side note: at this time I didn't know it was a coyote. From the limited experience I have had with animals of the wild I assumed that it was a wolf, don't ask me why.) Unfortunately the truck stopped about 100 yards before approaching us. I saw a man just sitting in the driver's seat. I thought perhaps he saw the wolf/coyote and was contemplating what to do. When he didn't immediately get out I started very slowly waving my arms at him to indicate that I needed help. Neither the man nor the coyote moved. I took a deep breath and began to cross the street and then slowly proceeded towards the truck. The coyote did not move. In a matter of seconds (which seemed like forever) I arrived at the truck. The man states, "Were you being attacked by bees?" I said, "NO! There's a wolf right there!!!!!!" He stated, "I saw you swerving your arms all over and I thought you were being attacked by bees!" By this time I am safe behind the man's truck. The man then proceeds to tell me that it is a coyote and not a wolf. My heart was still beating far too fast but a sense of relief flooded over me. I proceeded to finish my run home. By the time I got to my door my fear of the coyote was transferred to anger at the man! My thoughts, "What??? He thought I was being attacked by bees and he just sat in his truck watching!!!" Seriously, what is that all about?

Anyway ... that was my run this morning!

6 fun miles with Ry.

Ran south on Little Valley road until we noticed some new trails that we had not run on before. Tried to look it up on a map. We think it may be some trail system in the Fort Pierce Wash but are not sure!

No coyotes!

morning:

6.5 miles inc. 7 x 800s. Unfortunately I did this on a treadmill because I was worried that it was going to be too dark on the HS track.

evening:

60 minutes mountain biking on one of the Bear Claw Poppy Trails with Ry and Shelbey. SO SO SO FUN!!!! Then 1.5 with the twins and Shelby when we got home. The twins each needed to run a mile as part of an assignment for school. Sherm wanted to shoot for a 7:30. However, after a 2 hour football practice there was absolutely no way. He gave great effort but fell far short. He is definitely a sprinter!!!! Livvy was just happy to finish. Shelbey started with Livvy and I started with Sherm. Once Sherm was finished I ran back to run the final quarter of mile with the girls.

Loved today! Even work was more enjoyable than usual. I LOVE LOVE LOVE having Shelbey as my PTA. She is wonderful!

12 super-duper fun miles with Ry and Lowell! It was great to have Lowell in town. Ran on the Virgin River Trail and the hills behind DHHS. Great conversation. Miles just flew by! :-)
