To sleep earlier but up before 4am so I could get back in time for Sandra to run while it was still cool. Part of her bday present. Then in the garbage can to ice. Had a good run with the super south loop in reverse.  It did not feel as nice as the last two Saturday's but with the earlier start and crappier air I guess I can't complain. That and this is my highest mileage week in a LONG time and I even had one day off this week. Now for some hiking after Sandra gets back from her run.

Avg. 7:25 HR 147

Between my wife and me we managed to hit her age in miles today. Then up to Snowbird for hiking only to find out that Oktoberfest has already started so we hung out in the bier tent eating brats and dancing with the girls before heading up the tram to hear the Alp horns. Then a very rare dinner out at Log Haven. I super full and fun day.

Thank you all. This upcoming weekend is a biggie. I'm so excited to just be going into a race with some confidence after such a long break.
