Maybe the best Halloween yet with the kids yesterday. Lots of family, friends and sit around time. Speaking of sitting around, I made it through all three hours of church today. Nice run in the rain late tonight.

Day off. Heading down to Moab with the motorhome for the weekend with four teenage girls to volunteer some of the remote aid stations for the National Trail Marathon Championship. Of course I came down with the worst cold ever.

Up at six to help for the day with The National Marathon Trail Championships. The girls worked the finish line and the Kids Adventure Race. Actually worked their butts off for four hours and I was proud of them. Went through 60 gallons of water in Dixie cups. I should do this more. I give pretty much nothing back to running. Race director let me run with the USATF wave since I could follow the half marathon course back and be in time for the first finishers. Very humbling. These lead folks are fit.  Even running a 1:38 half I was chicked twice.  And they had 13 more to go. I cut off the marathon course in Kane's Canyon and finished with the half runners just in time to work the finish line for three hours.

Rainy day in Jersey.  Hour lift routine in the hotel gym. At least getting results on the lifting after three weeks in. Up to twenty pull ups which is gold level for Steve.   Treadmill for the rest of the time.

Beautiful run with my son, my brother, and three great friends from the North Rim, GC to South and back.  Impossible to even describe these runs. This canyon seems to move me somehow even more as I get older.

Snow shoe run up the Wellsvilles. Aside from right hip flexors I'm not really feeling this R2R2R. This is probably due to the 15 hour time it took this year getting everyone across.   Gonna take it easy for this week and maybe get ready for some road racing like I always think I will.
