| Bills delivered by Kam and Jack. We stopped and watched the road repair crew. Jack got to sit on the steamroller.

| It would be a lost run, but I happened to take my phone so I could listen to a baseball game. Dodgers lost, of course. 8 minute pace on the usual course.
I'm starting to consider thinking about making plans to make plans. For what it's worth.

| 1 mile on my own, then Jens came along for the usual 10k. He did a lot of talking. I didn't wear him out, but I made him tired. The next two days he complained about how sore his feet were. Pretty impressive to run 10k on a lark. We didn't go fast.

| Usual run to Farmington and back, with Jack.
Cool sunday night. He was bundled up with a blanket, but still a bit cold. Long sleeves for me. We chased deer, talked to the goats, and fed a couple of burros. Seriously. Gorgeous, shining fall evening. I love when the first yellow leaves appear, and still contrast with the dark green lawns and later changing trees. The sun was lighting everything up.

| 7 all by myself miles, while listening to the Royals take a commanding, 3-0 series lead. The baseball playoffs sure aren't going my way this year.
It was a June run in mid-October, with such a warm night.

| Instead of the usual loop, I ran up London and Aspen to BST, and flounced around in the weeds for a while.

| Amazing, beautiful run in Vail, along the Eagle River. Cold, water, leaves, needles, high-end real estate. (one of these things is not like the other)

| More of the usual, just because my back needed some relief after spending 8 hours in the car. We almost caught a snake just east of Green River where Jack stopped to pee at the side of the road. But I was too scared to reach out and take it by the tail.

| Lately I haven't done a comprehensive job of tracking my shoe usage. It is a revolting development.
Cool to cold, dark to darker, along the usual path. I notice I see less well on and after runs. There were abundant stars, so I ensconced myself on the trampoline afterward to look at them. It got old fast, so I went inside to watch game two of the WS instead.
I've never got much out of staring up at the cosmos. A couple times I tried to watch perseids and leonids. Pretty much I fell asleep, and was cranky the next day. A couple weeks ago, I got up at 4AM to observe the lunar eclipse. I guess it would have been more interesting if werewolves or waterbenders around, but to me it just looked like a brown tinged moon. I can see that anytime wearing sunglasses. I guess I'm stuck on earth.

| I went to the track for a bit. Ash came along on rollerblades, but the spongy track didn't work for her. I got in a 3:04 800 and a 4:48 1200 before we went home.
Actually, I dropped her off, and ran 5 more.
And got thinking about the hubris/feasibility of running a 2:55-2:59:xx marathon at age 43 or 44. I know thousands of guys that age and older run that pace all the time, but how many of them for the first time?
10k 4-5 time a week isn't going to cut it, though.

| The first 4 miles involved a zombie chase 5k with my younger daughters. We missed the start, so the zombies didn't know to chase us. We ended up with 7 tickets in the raffle, and won one gift basket that included $20 cash, $25 to the hardware store, and some candy. Not bad ROI on the $15 registration fee.
A few hours later, Tami and I did some trail running on the BST.

| More good times on the usual route. I called my daughter at BYU and talked to her while I ran. She usually does most of the talking, and hasn't commented that the heavy breathing bothers her much. 'Twas pretty cold out; I wore gloves, and kept my shirt on.

| Endless miles on the treadmill. I guess it's time to get accustomed to doing this again.
WS game 7...Madison Bumgarner, Pablo Sandoval, and Hunter Pence...historic WS performances. Wish the Royals would have won, same with the Rangers in 2010.

| It's a halloween tradition. After the minions stop showing up at the door, go for a run and try to scare jr high kids that are out carousing.
Water was still on at the baseball complex...bonus!
I didn't find any candy in the street this year.
