6.5 mile GS loop. I try doing this loop both way as to not get sick of it. Most of the time it's in the dark so it really doesn' matter.

8 miles. My Halloween run. Today I decided to dress up for my afternoon run just to show a little Halloween spirit. I decided to go as an Olympic Trials runner and I would call myself Paul Fielding (for no reason other than this sounded like a fast running name). I just wore a short pair of running shorts and instead of the sponsored running singlet and number across my chest- the no shirt look sounded good today since the skies were blue, there was no wind and my race day temperature was hovering right around a lovable 80 degrees.

I made my way up through the desert reserve to the power line trail and then connected to the GS loop. As I made my way through the neighborhoods around the golf course little children were already out dressed as Spiderman and pirates. They would say “look mommy that guys is going to run in the American Olympic Marathon Trials on Saturday with Meb, Ryan, and all the other running Gods.” I just chuckled and said “no- not me boys. I have a couple friends who will be there and they are amazing.”

Anyways it was a great run and I came home to my own little fast running Kellers making pumpkin cookies and blasting here new I-pod music through our house… Now to give out candy for the rest of the evening. I thought about giving Cliff bars instead but didn’t have time to get to Costco. So it’s Kit Kat, Peanut Butter cups, and other sugar junk Kellers likes to buy.

I finished off October with right at 300 miles. Maybe a few too many for the month after STGM. I'm looking forward to mid December and January when I can cut things back and rest the system to get ready for next year.

Love the costume. Enjoy giving out the candy tonight. Sneak a couple for yourself. You deserve it!

I'm very sure that was exactly what those kids were saying. They always tell me as I run by that I look like Paula Radcliffe. They're just so cute.

That weird Ruthie, they always tell me the same thing. hmmm?
