Went up to Jeremy Ranch with my mom and the kids. Ran about 8 miles on the road then hung a left at Mormon Flats and ran a couple miles on the Mormon/California/Pony Express Trail. Beautiful! Perfect fall colors. Lots of hunters though. Should have worn bright orange maybe. If I had been wearing those TOU antlers everyone wears, I might have been in trouble.

Had a good day today. Lots of positive thoughts on the run. Life is pretty stressful right now with some stuff going on career-wise, family health-wise, and financially-wise (teachers don't make enough money to live the way I want to live). But today's run helped put things in perspective.

Plus I'm going to be chatting with Pat Tyson on the phone tonight which always lifts my spirits. I'm hoping to convince him to do a recruiting trip again down to Utah for the state meet.

If you wear the antlers, you definitely have to wear Vizipro orange!
