| Once again, Meghan and I were going to run the island, but the weather looked iffy again, so we bailed. Instead I went over to Rainbow Gardens and planned on running some of the BST above Ogden. Instead, I ran north on the BST towards North Ogden. Hadn't been on that trail for a couple of years and it has changed. New trail has been cut above the powerlines and it's very nice. I left my watch and Garmin in the car and decided to just run for the joy. About 3 miles in, I came across some fellow trailrunners I know. Decided to run back to the car with them. Part way back, we met with some more trailrunners. We all knew each other (about 7 of us). Lots of fun just running with like minded friends, enjoying the morning, conversation, cool spring air, etc. Isn't that what running is all about? | | Add Comment |

| did a tempo run at lunch and really tried to push the pace. Ended uprunning the entire route at an 8:07 pace overall. Much of it was sub 7:45. I think that's the fastest I've run that far in a very long time. Maybe my hill repeats and speed work are helping a little. | | Add Comment |

| Did some hill repeats on a different trail. Shorter than my usual hill repeat trail by .2 and more elevation gain, around 300' per. Needless to say, much tougher. Had to quit a little early, lightening was hitting the ground a few milesa way and I get a little nervous when I'm out running on a mountainside when that stuff is going on. | | Add Comment |

| Ran to work this morning. The only excitement was a lady who just about hit me with her car. I had a headlamp on and shining into her car, in her face even. I got in her face big time. The excuse? "I didn't see you" Holy crap, what does it take to get people to pay attention. Do they need to kill someone? I came close to throwing my water bottle at her window, but held back. Maybe I shouldn't. We definitely had an audience as there were a bunch of people behind her waiting to turn into the IRS parking lot. Maybe the others behind her will pay attention. Ok, the adreneline level is back down now. | | Comments(3) |

| Did a little bit of trail running. Didn't feel the greatest. Had a little bit of a hard time breathing. Should have taken a hit off my inhaler. did after the run and felt better. | | Add Comment |

| Decided to go up the trail from North Ogden Divide and see how far up I could get. Went 2 miles up and turned around since I was running out of time. Had to get home and do chores. Probably could have gone up another mile. | | Add Comment |

| Ran from Rainbow Garden south to Beus Canyon with a detour up to Malan's Peak. Rained pretty much the entire time. Went with about four others and had a great time. | | Add Comment |
