Headed out into the dark night... needed a run... went down around Eden then across Ol' dam road back along NA, which was muddy and slow, my headlamp wasn't very bright so it made for some tough navigating... some places were slippery and wet... I didn't have trail shoes on, couldn't find any so that helped with the sliding... toward the end of the NA I heard some animals froliking around, probably Foxes... then as I crossed the last bridge a Beaver slapped its tail and made me jump... I tacked on a bit around RM Lodge. Overall a much needed run, not real fast but it felt great to be out and about in the night, loved the crisp air and the country smells! Came home and jumped on the Spin bike for 12 minutes before having to go pick up the 2 little kids at a bday party... soo a solid hour plus of exercise!

Gearing up for my Birthday run/bike.. whatever it may end up being... as long as it isn't motorized 38 miles... thinking Skyline, it is sad to say but i have not been over SKyline this year... with my MTN bike out of commission!

A solid run on the bench... started at 22nd for a change and went over to the waterfall overlook thenback to the upper trail and along it for a way and then cut back along the mid trail... temps were great and I had some good pep in the steps...

Had a good soccer game... we ended up losing by one measley goal after battling back from 5 goals down to tie it! Good workout though!

I have a new favorite route... for a quickie... started at the Dee event center go north along Taylor(i think) through the stadium parking lot cut over to 32nd TH climbed to the midtrail and over to 29thTH cut back did some meandoring thru MO GC... and made my way back... sweet run a good one for going faster, not as much climbing as I usually do on the trails... good fun five miles, forget the time!

Headed out for a run to the parents to pick up the kids... weather looked fairly mild from the inside, temps were in the low 40's... got about a half mile into the run and the winds hit with a gusto and then the rain/sleet hit... it was all good when I was running East but when I turned to the South the wind and rain pounded me good... funny thing is storms usually come from the NW and this one was coming from the SW... it was a beater, reminded me of a few years ago training for Ogden and every Saturday run we did had brutal weather! It actually was an enjoyable outing, just put my head down and grinded... the last few miles were a crosswind with the occasional moments of a tailwind... felt pretty good tried to push it the last few... didn't have a watch but I think I ave. about 8:30's for the run overall...
