| This was the last day that my friend Karen is in town from Austin. She wanted to get in twelve miles up City Creek. Heather came along as well and I pushed Jack in the jogger stroller. It was a really nice run from the house, up Memory Grove, to the 3.5 mile mark in City Creek. I found that pushing the stroller was a good way to keep a more sociable pace. On the downhill, gravity did the work for the stroller. We had a huge brunch at Avenues Bakery afterward, and a nap. Very restful. Had a great visit with Karen. | | Comments(2) |

Late getting out the door today, 7:15 am. My Garmin automatically ended daylight savings prematurely and said it was 6:15, but it wasn't so. I ran the Ensign loop,so designated because Ensign elementary is in the middle of the run and features a beautiful view of the city from above 11th Ave, as well as a prime porta-potty. Weather was great, nice fall run.

| Black Sheep workout today. Adam RW coached. He had a Halloween themed run, complete with ghosts, candy, and a macabre and grueling pace ladder workout in the SL City cemetery. After the warmup, we marked out a very hilly one-mile loop in the cemetery, with neon glow-sticks for markers ("ghosts") at each .33. We then ran out and back to each marker, ostensibly at marathon pace, for a total of three hilly intervals (.66, 1.2 mile, 2.0 miles) that were very painful. Cooldown with Adam down to 11th Ave and B street, overlooking Memory Grove, then back. | | Comments(1) |

Ensign loop with Josh, Megan, and Amy. Easy pace and an enjoyable run.
Tonight, a very eerie trick or treater came to my door. The Ghost of Steve Prefontaine. (aka Ely Oftedal).

| Run from Radda. Jwood actually just spent two weeks on a bike near the actual town of Radda in Chianti, Italy, so we got to hear about that adventure. The run was great, but probably not enough for miles. I would like to try to get in a couple more tonight, but that may not happen. | | Add Comment |

| As I suspected, no time for a second run last night. This morning I didn't really make up for it, either. I ran out and back to the bottom of Emigration Canyon via This is the Place. It was dark and I almost tripped over a metal chain, but it was an enjoyable run. | | Comments(1) |

Run Like Health 5k. This is a small race organized by my friend (and Black Sheep co-founder) Tek Kilgore. There were maybe 50 runners. One of them was a redshirt BYU runner named Reagan Frey, however, so I didn't finish at the top, but I had a good race. Last year I ran 17:22 on this course, which means I took off 25 seconds and that's a nice chunk. The course goes all over the lower campus at the University of Utah and has the topography of a difficult cross country course. It has enough twists and turns to make a spiral staircase jealous.
Adam Wende was third, just right behind me. Nice awards at the end, got a new pair of Asics running gloves. Last year I dropped a pair of gloves in the toilet after this race, so it all worked out.
Congrats to Paul on his amazing marathon today. He's emerged as one of the true stars in our part of the country and is poised to do great things nationally in the seasons to come.
My heart goes out to Ryan Shay's family. What a tragedy. It's expected that some people will have good days and some people will have bad days in any marathon, but this kind of occurrence is beyond the pale. The Shay family is in many thoughts and prayers.
I can't believe Ryan Hall's performance, or Ritz's, or Sell's. Quite a time to be a fan of American distance running. | | Comments(2) |
