Cemetary trail run with the dogs.  The sun coming up over the valley was an inspiring start to the week.  Unfortunately, losing the cat in the rose thicket, snagging my jacket getting her back, misplacing my cel phone, and then finding my bike tire flat--making me late for work-- reminded me that it's Monday.  I wish I had more time to run in the morning.  Those are the most perfect moments of my day.

Ran 4 up and down Timpview as fast as I could 9:13's then ran 2 more miles slowly on the treadmill while I watched Hoarders (always makes me feel better about myself having too many running shoes).

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.

Cath sent our schedule and the 18 week  marathon training series actually begins next week.  I'm not excited about getting started.  I still have not found a running friend on this side of town--there's a younger girl down the street, but she's only ever run 2 half marathons. So I think we may be pace-compatible, just not mileage compatible.  If she can hack the 5:45 time slot, she'd make a great weekday running pal.  We'll see. I feel rested enough to start up again.  I went to the doctor this week to get everything checked again, and as soon as I get the go ahead, I'll get going. I just need an x-ray and another blood panel.
