Bonneville Shoreline with Andy

The next day, which is now day four of extreme hills, consisted of a run with my friend Andy on the Bonneville Shoreline trail. The timing of the run was perfect. We got a view of the city of Provo during the sunset. The trail was easy to navigate and had a good amount of ups and downs. He brought his dog along, which was great at staying close. There was only one time where she wandered too far and we waited for a good amount of time for her to return. Andy was a little concerned because she had blood on her mouth but we continued our run. The trail is along the bottom of the mountain there is not a really big climb, there are just constant ups and downs. The first part of the trail was a good uphill. I was glad Andy let me walk it at the beginning. The next difficult part was running up Rock Canyon to the fence. I don't remember if the fence was green or yellow, but I am pretty sure it was a green fence. Once we hit the fence we chilled for a bit and let his dog have some fun in the river below. The return was much easier. It felt like all downhill. During the return we found a dead squirrel where we stopped last. Andy and I made the assumption that his pup was the culprit. There was definitely a look of guilt. The rest of the run was nice. I have missed spending time with Andy. I have known him since he was so young. Kenny has known him even longer than I. After the run we then stopped by his parent house and picked up some trekking poles that I could borrow for the race. I got home about midnight, which was bit late since I had planned to get up about 4:00 to summit Timp. I'd figured it would get me use to running hard with little sleep. It was planned, well actually that is a lie. I get carried away talking from time to time.

... Timp report to come for now I am going to bed.
