I took a wonderfully long 5 miles on the trail and pretended I was somewhere else today.

I ran 4 miles on the trail at lunch.  I dare you to try not to slip on all those wet leaves.  It's hard.  Running in the rain is so melancholy. I wish the rain would turn to snow.

It was frosty this morning.  Stayed inside and ran 4 miles on the treadmill.

Did a two mile jog on the treadmill and then another 40 on the stationary bike.  The stationary bike is quiet so I can actually hear the tv.  I'm busy catching up on current events, mostly provided by the comedy channel .....does that count as news?

Rode the bike for 30 minutes, had out of town business visitors and had to be in SLC by 7:30.  So I didn't get any time in the treadmill.

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.
