Oh the sheer relief of being outside in the chill November sun after being inside most every day this week. The leaves on the trail are brown now and crusty. I love the smell from crushing them underfoot. I saw Sasha out with a new running partner (new to me). You can tell when the run is serious by how much Sasha squints his one eye. I ran 4 at about a 10:00 minute pace and the last 2 at about a 12:00 trying really hard to focus on the upper body torque and knees. I stretched that hamstring twice. It's still not loose, but at least it doesn't hurt all the time now. Yesterday and today has been so gorgeous out. The snow on the tall mountains, and clear blue skies very much impressed my out of town business guests. I'm always happy if Utah puts on a spectacular landscape for visitors. I'm starting to freak a little though, that there is hardly and snow in the mountains. When do we get to ski? Anyway, we loved being outside this morning (me and the dogs). My retreiver silently slipped into the deep water at the end of the trail and swam down the river as I ran along side. P.S. What is scarier than two men with big guns and 4 hunting dogs jumping out of the bushes? Jeez, that was freaky.
