So sad...today I was running on river bottom road and I saw a cute little black kitty.  Then right below him was a yellow kitty that had just been run over.  The poor kitty was still somewhat alive I think.  It was so gruesome I couldn't look at it or I was going to throw up.  I felt so bad for both kitties.  

I was supposed to meet lyns, but there was no site of her. :(  I ran 6 and tried to get faster each mile.  

avg pace 7.41

1st mile 8.22

last mile 7.04

So I did get faster :)  I'm a little bummed I didn't run the SF 1/2.  But I had a baptism to go to that morning so I couldn't have done it anyway.  And now I'm bummed I didn't do Onion days.  Alas such is life.  I'll probably put kamrie in the 1k race in Orem on the 19th.  And I'm still planning on the Save a Sister 10k in St George in October.

Poor little kittens!! Sorry you had to see that!!

Glad you got out and ran today though. You should have come and ran Payson girls!! Next year for sure :) If for no other reason then the Big Pig Out Bad for you breakfast at Marion's afterward!!! You are running really well. Keep it up Merri :)

Oh, I'm with Kellie - the breakfast is worth every lost minute of sleep! If you're not afraid to be a glutton that is :) Sorry for such a crazy run - alone and then the tragedy! Glad the highlight was the pace - nice job girl!!!

I should have still come for the breakfast and pretended like I actually did run the race :)

I don't think anyone would've stopped you! There were TONS of left-overs and we all left about 10 pounds heavier I think.
