Seeking a better country...

10k on the treadmill.  I was pretty full from dinner, so I didn't push into the puke zone.  Trying to get old technology to interface with current tech is such a pain in the butt.  I've got an old tv in front of the treadmill with component inputs, and a tivo hd upstairs.  The component outputs are already in use, but not the hdmi.  I don't want another box and subscription, I just want to make tivo talk to both tvs.  So far, no good.  At least I can watch prison break on dvd, but what I really want to do is watch prerecorded sports.

Treadmill miles.  Late start again, because I spent hours at church and a city meeting.  The issue was tabled.  I didn't even get kids off to bed until 10:30, so I was loping along till after 11:30.  Then we stayed up to talk about the meeting.  I'm sleepy today.  I don't think the endorphins wore off till around 1:30.

I guess there is little difference between getting up early or staying up late to run.  The net result is the same; sleep deprivation.

Treadmill.

I got done raking leaves with the boys a bit early, so headed out for a sunset.  Climbed up to the V, then headed north.  Came down parrish to chase and ran the road home hard.  It felt great.  I don't know when I'll ever be able to sustain that kind of pace (6:20) for more than a couple miles.  I'm getting older, not better?  I guess it's a matter of training and determination, as much as anything.  This run included 1000' of climb.

Sidenote:  I saw the chiro today, and enjoyed getting adjusted.  I wonder how much regular visits would help with recovery and overall performance.  It seemed to work for John Stockton.  Too bad I don't have his salary or benefits to pay for all the visits.

Mueller Canyon to North Canyon Loop.  My sister came, we enjoyed the fall views.  2800' of climb, mostly all in the first 6 miles.  We got up over 7000'.  These miles were slow.  The trail was in great shape.  We didn't see any bikers until we were almost down at north canyon, so that was good.  I love these borrowed runs.  It shouldn't been this nice.  I overdressed in tights and long sleeves.  It was probably 50-55 degrees up on the hill.  I guess there is an inversion, cuz it was low 40's at my house.
