Beautiful long easy run out in the bayou, Lake Charles. 3rd run into my easy mileage weeks. easing into 3 weeks of 80 mile target, long and easy baby! Then it's time to hit it again.

Really tickled today that the downhill 8K at Alta before the marathon with Rob and others has perturbed some "Brooks athletes" on our sponsor list. Apparently Brooks ranks their sponsored athletes and even though I have been so slow this fall a 23 minute 8K bumps me into 4th nationally and some guys complained! I have no idea what the "assisted" or "hard" courses are, most of this is for fun. It's just cool to see a race we go to for the barbeque and company get some feathers ruffled!

Hey Steve - I committed to doing a Grand Canyon rim to rim run with Jon Allen and a couple other guys next Monday. Close to 50 miles. I told them I was basically a road wunner who has never run over a marathon, but they seem willing to drag me along. What do you think - slightly crazy or completely insane?

Dang! That sounds fun. You have shoes for that sort of thing?

and yes, it's insane. 26.2 is my limit..forever.

"Road Wunner" - pretty lame Elmer Fudd impersonation.

I should have written "woad wunner".
