| Even though the day was low key I was exhausted and went to sleep early last night. Got up early for a brief run. Big event at church today so I'm helping set up for that. Very slow run as I was off roading it checking out the near areas they have cleared for building and putting in a new lake. It is amazing to watch a lake be built. They started filling it in this month.

| Out of the house from 6:30am-8:30pm... No run. Good day though including a dinner with an old co-worker who's here giving a talk.

| Group run in some soup. It was warm and humid out. It has been humid these last few days but I was surprised how warm it was. The group was four again with another new guy. We now have 7 different people that have shown up. Hopefully we'll have them all come one day.

| Not sure if it was the low 40s this morning or game 7 last night but no one showed up this morning. Turned out one of the guys got there late so adding the extra mile made it so I didn't see him on the back end. Because I said it was too hot last night it was too cold this morning. Should have worn gloves. 40 here feels like 30 in SLC...

| It is amazing what a difference a pair of gloves can make. Only a couple degrees warmer but dressed right and it felt great this morning. Happy Halloween!
