Went on an out and back on a less traveled road out in the country.  No real shoulder on the road, but it wasn't very busy and we ran in the grass/dirt when we needed to.

went pretty slow, which was great because I wanted to go easy on my hip.  paces were between 10:55 and 10:06..averaged about 10:30.  Ran with a friend and Mr. rode the bike along with us for support/safety. 

It's a good thing too, because just after mile 4, a HUGE sheep came darting out of a driveway and started running out after us!  No joke about the sheep, but he wasn't a real threat...a car came by and he stopped and went back to his own yard.  He was plopped down like a huge pile of fluffy stink when we ran back.  I guess all the excitement wore him out.

 Got to have a meet & greet with a mule & couple of horses too.

Nice run, great memories.

QP-the sounds like the amazing zoo adventure - Now, what would have happened if you had turned around and chased the sheep? Who would be sheepesh? Out like a lamb? Funny stuff - Unforgettable runs - Old QP had a farm, ei, ei ,ei, oooo.

Stay Kool, Nice Mileage, B of BS Rools out

I have never encountered animals like that on a run. It would make the run more interesting! I am glad you enjoyed a nice slow 10 miles, I like runs like that.

Nice run with the livestock.

So...no lamb chops for dinner?

Glad you had good company and got out in the country, now the horse/cow stink out in Herriman won't surprise you so much when you come run with me :)

Glad the hip is behaving!
