Running around during the meet. Was going to get some extra running in at the track but there was a football game going on.

Long run with Jake in pleasent view. Got over 1200 feet of elevation gain. Mileage should get back up to 30-40 per week once I get into my new house next week. Still hoping to be over 1200 miles for 2024, I want to run over 2000 in 2025.

Long run with Jake from Weber high to a big rock of some sort. Almost 2000 feet elevation gain. Felt glorious.

Warmed up 2 miles and then ran the Utah Open 8k. It was a lot of fun but I am not in shape for a race like this. My goal was not to take bottom 5 and succeeded there. Had a sprint finish with some kid from the college of southern Idaho... Averaged like 6:15 for 5.1 miles on a pretty tough sugarhouse course. They had us go up the big opening hill from state 3 times. Hopefully next year I can average 5:45 or better at this race.

Whitney hung out with Kiley and Jake's kids and my dad, it was fun to see them all playing together- sugarhouse has a great playground. Played some pickleball with my dad later.

Nice to be back in Utah, finally starting to get settled now that I have a house.

High school kids left me in the dust on some of those fartleks. Haven't done anything fast in too long. A few extra miles with Jake.

4.1 windy stroller miles, glad I got the chariot.

4.5 on my own later. Ran around my neighborhood, the track, and the field next to it. 2 easy miles and then 2 miles at marathon pace. A couple strides as well.

Easy stroller miles. First half of October was only about 35 miles and 2nd half will be about 75 after tomorrow. If I can keep on this pace and do 150+ miles per month over the winter that would be great.

Running around during the state xc meet. Fun to watch state.

Whitney has been really fun lately. She probably brought me 5 tangerines to peel for her and when she was finished with each one she ran the peels across the room to the trash as fast as she could, good cleaner baby. She also did a little trick or treat at Beccas work today in her duck costume and was pretty adorable saying "quack" to everyone.
