The usual local.  It was a nice morning for a run and I'm lucky to live where I do!

Our new puppy is not so great to run with.  She often slows down to look behind her.  On the trail and off leash she did better til we saw a bike.  Then she froze in her tracks and tried to run and hide when I tried to move her out of the way.  Sheesh.

About 13 miles total on trail but it was broken up into several runs.  Highlights include some trails near the west base of Notch Peak, Hell N Moriah Kitchen, and Notch Peak summit (lots of elevation gain and loss).  Very beautiful!!!!!!!!!  I had not been to this area before.  It is amazing.

I planned to do intervals but the air quality was awful largely from wildfire smoke blowing in.

DNR Fun Run.  DNR = Department of Natural Resources.  This is not a real race but a timed fun run put on at my work for employees.  The results are pretty much a foregone conclusion.  The fast guy wins (he mentioned that he used to run 15 minute 5 Ks w/in a bigger workout as part of his training).  Dependent upon who is in the office and what side of a Marathon I'm on, I'm second or third.  Today I was second.   

The fast guy ran with me for the first half and then left me behind.  I did not go all out as St. George is only 9 days away.  I felt good till about the 2nd mile mark and then slowed because I was suffering from an abdominal cramp of some sort.  I do not cramp often and I'm not sure why I did, but no big deal.....  Recovered and then ran the course again so as to get some more miles. 

I finished in 20:37.  Splits-  6:16, 6:30, 6:44. 

Based on Sasha's race time predictor I think I can go under 3:10 at St. George, if all goes well.
