No James, no Cody, no Paul, no Dan, no Logan, no Dave, no Ben.  All alone.  **sob**

Started at the 1 mile mark of Logan river trail, ran to just before Guinavah Malibu and back.  30 min up, 28:20 down.  Definitely getting cooler, so I have to get all the trail runs I can before my trip to Florida and winter.

Sorry to make you **sob**. I miss you too Jon! You need to mentally get ready for the Dam Run on the 3rd. James and Cody look ready to roll. They have that eye of the tiger look!

Unfortunately I am going to be in Florida, otherwise I would be eager to whup both of them. I won't be back till after Thanksgiving.

You are lucky you are going to Florida! Eye of the Tiger!!!

Enjoy the warm weather running. I don't envy you upon your return...from nice and warm to cold and crappy weather. Just the kind of motivation you need to put in those extra miles!
