| 12.25 miles on the treadmill. I did some pretty fast running up to 9 mph.
I had a dream last night where I was working at REI except this REI had a cafe like Barnes and Noble. I was walking past the cafe and a couple customers called me over and said "excuse me, but to you all put peanut butter in your espresso?" I told them that I didn't know because I didn't work in the cafe. Nonetheless, they asked me if they could try a sample of our espresso. I went to the back and got two small plastic cups and put a spoonfull of peanut butter in each one, nothing else, and brought it out to them. They each tried the sample and looked at each other and said " that's good, subtle hints of peanut butter" and said they'd take two.

| AM: Treadmill fartlek. 1 mile warmup, 65 minutes broken up into 5 minute segments of 4 minutes at 7 to7.5 mph and then 1 minute at 8.5 to 9 mph.
Chilly and rainy here today. Definitely fall-like.
It snowed at Alta and Snowbird today.

I spent about two hours at the Marine Corps recruiting office with Andy yesterday. I'm glad he asked me to go with him. He's not necessarily joining the Marine Corps - just being open to all possibilities - but I'm proud of him either way. Where did the last almost 18 years go?

| AM: 9.25 miles on the treadmill. I was planning on going up to Millcreek to do the Pipeline Trail but I needed to get Andy down to Sandy to workout with the Marines so I hopped on the treadmill at 6:30.

It's getting to be the best time of the year to be in the mountains in my opinion.

So I was thinking about how the Millennial generation and Gen Z (and to be fair, mostly young women) are probably responsible for about 50% of the plastics floating in the ocean due to their consumption of expensive coffee drinks from Starbucks dispensed to them in single use plastic cups. This thought occured to me as I watched students enter Alta High this motning.

| PM: 4 mile pre-race shakeout run with a 1 mile walk-jog cool down. I did this on the roads. My first true road run in forever - pretty much just treadsmills and trails for me these days.
Splits were 8:34, 7:55, 7:27, 6:58

| AM: 3rd attempt at my new favorite race. The hardish run Thursday night was a mistake - my legs never felt good but I did manage 3rd place and only 40 seconds slower than last year. I was definitely feeling every hill and the 7500 feet though!
Now off to the beer and bar-b-q.
PM: Ann and I hiked 3.5 miles to the "Sacred Rim" in the Wind River Range.

| PM: Nice workout at the gym this afternoon following a frustratingly bad teacher professional development meeting that focused on everything that doesn't matter in education and ignored everything that does. 7.25 miles on the eliptical and a vigorous 2 mile row...
Happy with how this week went. The half marathon I ran last Saturday took a lot out of me but my recovery went well. Just focused on long walks and some light strength training. My 59th birthday is coming up in 9 days so I've been doing lots of push-ups so I can do 59 of them on that day.

Ann and I went to see Son Volt a band that, amazingly, I had never seen live until last night after almost 30 years of fandom.
Lots of inactivity this week due to parent-teacher conferences.
