Fun run turned funnier.  Really I started out in my three pairs ago running shoes.  The only decent ones I could keep for yard work without too much toe missing and heel gone.  So not running in the zeroes.  Since they felt fine when I put them on they were good to go.  Ran my route I take to the Rec center but ran out 5 on Locust just to the Lindon City park where I was approached rather viciously by a medium sized dog.  Just when I was feeling so good at my 7:15 pace and just at the 5 mile turn around.   He was not going to let me get by again without being chased and me yelling didn't seem to back him off too far.  Basically this zapped some of my "stored" adrenaline and getting back to that pace felt more labored.  I still held it though and managed to get 8 miles after two mile warm up at  7:33, 7:15, 7:17, 7:18, 7:10, 7:22, (7:51 breather mile), 7:09.  Then was going to do a one mile cooldown but literally ran in beside my neighbor pushing her double jogger with two kids inside it and decided to run with her.  She was picking up her other daughter  at preschool just past the Mt. Timp temple on 700 north.  I helped her run a 20 miler two years ago about two weeks out from SGM.  She trained for only a month or so and still ran under 4 hours.  So I just jogged leisurely and wonderfully by her.  We walked the major up hill and when her daughter didn't want to ride the scooter at times.  But I got in another 5 miles of running and about a mile or more of walking.  Achilles began to burn on this part of my run.  Acted up a little on the way back at my 10 mile turn around.  I will probably pay a price tonight at work as my muscles had to learn again to run in different shoes.  But that's the price I pay to be prez of the NAIRC.  Smooth and I trade off in this position.  I will be her wing-woman anytime : DDDDD
