Very weird run this morning. I had 12 scheduled but knew that I needed to back off a bit as the recovery from TOU is taking a bit longer than expected. When the run started, my mind felt a little foggy. Not sure what the deal was but I felt a little hypoglycemic. Of course, when this happens my mind starts to wander. Headed over to Farmington bay and my imagination started to take over. There was no moon light and it was pretty dark. Started having thoughts of a serial killer in the bushes waiting to surprise a runner. Once I got to the entrance there were a lot of pick up trucks with dog kennels which means that there were a lot of hunters out. Started thinking of the possibility of being shot by a stray bullet. Then on the way home, I saw a shadow run across the road. Pretty sure it was a dog and my wild imagination assumed that it was rabid. Stopped and tried to figure out if I had enough energy to out run Cujo. Once I hit civilization again, I felt a little better and ran the last mile in 6:40 just to make sure that my issues were all mental. It felt good and think that I am ready for St. George.
