I took my time, ran slowly enjoying the afternoon light.  This has been my favorite autumn in many years.  It has lasted so very long, and aside from the freak snow on October 27th, it has been breathtaking.  I was amazed by how many trees still have leaves (green ones), and how much longer I've been able to enjoy the fall colors.  Today I signed up for Utah Valley Marathon, and thankfully did not get rejected.  So I've got the National Marathon in DC in March, and Utah Valley in June.  I'd like to get Park City underway too but I don't think I'm interested in running St. George unless I can go with my friend Shawna.  Who knows what will happen.  I am still sad Cath and I missed the Boston cut off.  But it's just been that kind of year for me:  Moving, changing, rejection, acceptance, losing, finding, ending, beginning.

Hate those years while going through them, but love them when I can look back and see the growth! Glad you had a nice run - I'll see you at UVM!! :)

Thanks RAD, see you then! I hope I'm in better shape by next June :)
