Mountain Bike night, did Mueller Park in bountiful. Made really good time and was able to get up to the flat with tons of light left. On the way down however I was going to fast and ended up in a collision with a guy on his way up. I had no damage but the poor guys face hit me in the shoulder and he was down and out for a couple of minutes with a bloody nose. Waited with him for about 15 minutes to make sure he was okay and proceeded in the dark.

Took the dog and ran in the gultch up above 1300 E. We didn't see any horses or other people so I let the dog do his thing. We had a good run and made good time. I need to do more exploring up in there. Maybe some geocaching. 

Another very successful mountain bike night. We did the dog lake trail starting at the top of Millcreek Canyon. It was very fast! We made really good time! Good thing too, it is getting dark early these days. I will be going for a run tomorrow I need to get some good solid exercise. It will probably be at the gym so I can get some climbing in as well.

I had originally set out to do about 5 miles tonight. I didn't start until a little late because I decided to play a round of Disc Golf before my run. Came it 4 over par, I am getting better. But back to the run. I started out with the dog in tow. We went pretty quick out of the gate, then progressively slowed, by the time we got to 2 miles it was beginning to get dark. I decided it best for us to turn back. 3 pretty fast miles for me with the dog stopping often to pee. I tried something in an area where I never see anyone else. I let the dog off the leash. We did about a minute per mile faster pace that way. Too bad he cannot be trusted around other dogs.

Needed a run. I am going to be better from now on. I was getting pretty burned out but I am feeling better about running / exercise  now and am ready to get serious about running again. As far as exercise goes though, I have discovered yet another way I want to spend large amounts of money. Downhill mountain biking, I went to Deer Valley this last weekend. That is awesome stuff. 10 ft. drops, jumps, teeter totters, ladders, and anything else you can imagine.

On another note I went to the dentist today and was told for the first time in my life, "Wow your teeth are really clean, well done." With that statement it goes without saying that I had zero cavities.

Got back out on the trails a little today. It felt really great. I am a super slow runner, I have just accepted it. Maybe someday i will get fast but for now I will just enjoy being in better shape.

8 easy miles in Kansas! It was nice, I ran by a lake on really nice mellow flat trails. It was beautiful. I have not been doing much running lately. I have really been enjoying my mountain biking. I have done 4 trails in the past week. All of which were over 15 miles. I have really been enjoying myself. My new found passion was a result of me getting a new rear shock for my bike. It has been like riding a new bike! Running is fun but there are no 10 ft. drops going 25 mph.
