Just relaxing today in Moab. We will have to drive home at around 6 or 7 p.m. that will take about four and a half hours...so I will be getting home late. It rained here ALL night last night. I think that storm soaked the southern part of the state- finally. The La Sal mountains behind Moab were covered in snow this morning. Snow! I guess summer is starting to die off. We'll get the best weather of the year in St. George from now until the first part of December. Then it gets a little cool for about two months, then good again until May.

9.2 mile morning run. Felt a little sluggish this morning for the first four miles or so then started to come around. It was a great morning to run. The trails I run on had been washed clean with all the rain over the weekend and it made for a good run. The air feels clean and crisp, you gotta love it.

5 mile loop this evening. Felt very good tonight. Everything that has been messing with me was gone and with the cool air I had a good run. GS Loop.

9.2 same old morning run. Nothing too cool going on this morning. 52 out today on the run! We went from not getting to the 60's for an overnight low to going down to the 50's. Feels good. I'm guessing the morning of the marathon it will be pretty cold with the way it has cooled off and with it being as late into October as it could be.

Now I'm off to Torrey for five days to do some muzzle loader deer hunting. I haven't hunted for about five years and am pretty pumped just to get out in the moutains and have some fun.

7.1 mile run this afternoon in Torrey. I went out for five miles but took a loop that was a little longer. Felt good after sitting in the car all the way up here.

Wow! That's all I can say about this run-Wow! We hunted all morning and got home around noon and I got some lunch and then got ready for the run. I've dreamed about doing this run for a few years and today just kind of did it by default. I can't do it justice with any written description. Just think of starting at 6,800 and climbing to around 8,600 in the first 7 miles then running the rest of the run without a trail, road, or any other type of path. I just cross country/ explored up and down canyons on a reckless hunt to "do this run." A lot of hill's and crazy stuff. Not the smartest thing I've ever done but it got the blood pumping thats for sure.

Ended up at around 7,100 ft but it wasn't just a climb up and then slide down type run.

Anyways pace was slow other than the last mile at 5:20 once I finally got back to town. I felt great the whole run and the horses were doing what they do...

7.1 mile run this morning. Same run as I did Tuesday. From the house up into Sand Creek and down the waterline road. Did the last three at MP. Feeling pretty good. Hunting is going o.k- but still no big bucks. I'm just happy being out.

I won't count this as miles, but I hiked my butt off tonight hunting. 5 miles up and down at around 9.300 ft.

10.5 mile run at noon. We have been hunting up a storm. Lots of little buck and close too. But I've been holding out for a PR deer this year. We'll see what happens with that....

Got home and did the Teasdale-Torrey loop. 10. 5 miles in 1:09:32. A steady pace and around four miles at MP.

The rest of the weekend will be mostly all hunting so my run on Saturday might not be much if any.

6.5 mile run today around noon. We hunted all morning and I ended up getting a little 2-point buck. I was going to wait for a big one but today was the last day I could hunt. We will go out tonight and we'll see some big ones with my luck. Anyways it was fun and took the morning taking care of it.

The run sucked. The first 2 miles I was hidden down in a canyon but as soon as I rounded the turn I hit a bad headwind and it killed me on the way back to the house.
