I had such a great run.  Just a run around my favorite places these days--the river side trail, the vintage park loop (love the rock river and flowing water).  I also stopped in at the Riverwoods to visit the ol' 3B Yoga Studio and my friends there.  The morning was so cool and fresh.  I love these days into November.  Late Summer and fall are just my most favorite times of the year.

Ran with my newest boy Gerrardo (international student) going to play basketball for Timpview.  He's a respectful good boy.  Just a little younger than the others we've hosted.  My other boys are all off at college now on scholarships.  This one has more academic promise than the others, which I prefer. But he's not a bad baller, and he's disciplined.  These basketball players have such a  hard time to KEEP ON running. They try to run me faster, but only last at that pace about the length or two of a basketball court. I have to teach them how to maintain a steady pace. Every single one of them does the same thing.  I know they could run faster than me (once they get used to running) at a sustained pace.  They but none of them like the sustained, prologned pace they just don't have stamina or patience for.  I always tell them-- running will teach them patience and build their endurance since what they have to learn is how to "just keep" going long after they're board with the running process.  It's good mental endurance for them.

Met Cath at wills at 6:30 not quite sure I could run all 8 miles. But we chatted along in the cool pre dawn, enjoying the warm puffs of canyon morning breezes.  We drank from the fountain of youth, stopped at the bathroom and by the end, even I was doubting my decision to forfeit St. George.
