Nice afternoon run between sessions of conference.

Ran from the top of shalburne mountain down to greenfill park. The weather was stunningly beautiful. Blue sky, sunny and about 70 degrees with a gentle breeze. I felt like I was running in the middle of a scene from a calendar or a painting. In every direction there were  beautiful green pastures and trees with leaves turning orange. A small stream wandering along the side of the road. Only a rare car that drove by. No dogs. Wow, I wish every run was like this.

Nice 3 miler at about 11pm, after all of my meetings at the Stake Center. Ran the same route as the run run ye saints 5k. Got a little lost in the wine streets but still ended up being about 3 miles. It felt very nice to allow my brain some time to rest and relax after several hours of meetings.

My usual out and back on BCreek. ran an extra 0.25 at the top just for good measure. It was a cool, cloudy morning. My legs felt pretty heavy so I focused on memorizing Isaiah 55: 1-3. Great verses! Still noticed my heavy legs for most of the run though.

Very nice TM run while watching a nail biter of a game between LSU and Florida. LSU won in the final seconds. Also lifted weights.

Another late nighter from the Stake Center after interviews.

I felt incredibly light and strong so I ran a bunch of Fartleks. I would run two telephone poles fast and then two easy and then three fast/three easy. Just lots of mixing and matching like that. I had the neighborhood around the Stake Center to myself as it was quite late. It was fun. I wish every run was so good!

Nice 3 Mile tempo run on the TM. Peaked at 6.5 speed.

There was a girl about 20 years younger than me on the treadmill next to me. She had hair that was just a little too blond and teeth that were a little too white. She was dressed too fashionably to be a runner. She just didn't look like a runner. I was determined that I would stay on the treadmill longer than her to prove to myself that a middle age bald guy can still hold his own. I was prepared to go as long a needed to prove my point. Unfortunately I looked at my watch and realized I had to get to another commitment sooner than I thought. In disgrace I ended my run at 3 miles. She ended hers about 2 minutes later. I'm not the suspicious type, but I think she might have been holding out on me just like I was on her. Oh well.

NicerRun from Rainbow Lake down to the Palins. A perfect 10k. It was a beautiful, sunny, cool fall day.

Another late nighter after meetings. Lot of speed play of random distances. 3 miles total.

It was a very chilly night with a lot of stars out. I was dressed perfectly (shorts and 2 shirts and hat). Pretty much had the road to myself as it was about 11pm. Felt great except for a little nagging pain in my left leg about 3 inches above my achilles tendon. Not sure what it is.

TM run while watching the Giants and the phillies battle it out.

I have been eating healthy for 4 weeks now. As of today I have dropped 13 pounds. It sure feels great. I'm curious to see how much more will come off. It has slowed down to about 2 pounds a week. I never knew fruits and vegetables could taste so good. And the cool thing is I eat tons of them and never allow myself to feel hungry.

Nice late night run after attending a fireside in Cedar Mill. The speaker was Elder Kikuchi of the Seventy. It left me a lot to ponder during my run.
