I can not believe the incredible weather we are having. Highs in the upper 70's and 80's and no humidity. Awesome! Every nice day we have is one less day of winter. It has been great for the harvest. 

My legs felt really stiff and heavy for the first mile. By mile 2 things were starting to feel normal again and I had a good run. Just had to keep a wary eye out for semi's and tractors and combines. 

Not a great day at EDC yesterday. We had a couple of good performances but over all, times were slow and the girls were disappointed. Not what we hoped for. The temp was 83 when they ran. We have not raced in temps that high since August. Don't know if that was a factor or not. We will name our top 10 and 2 alternates for State at practice tomorrow. One more small, fun meet on Wednesday. After that, practice will be just the girls going to State, October 23.

Last LSD with the whole team. Notecard run, pasta dinner at a fancy restaurant with the team tomorrow night. Rosecreek meet on Wednesday. We introduce all the seniors and they get a bag of candy. Collect the uniforms from those not going to state and call it a season. It will be strange to have practice with only 12.

It was a hot run today. Low 80's. Sounds like it will cool off tomorrow. Mosquitos have been like something out of a horror movie. "Night of the Bloodsuckers!" "Nightmare on Mosquito Street!" "Hallowmosquito!" Ok ok I'm done. The heat must have gotten to me today. :) :) :)

Recovery run with the state team. Of course for me it was a speed workout! I am going to have to work to keep up with this group. It was fun having a small team. We all run together and all finish together. 

Tara came home last night and left tonight. She is on fall break, but my step bro got her tickets to Sunday's Bronco game. So she and her boyfriend are leaving tomorrow morning from Bismarck. They should get into Denver tomorrow evening. My mom is coming over from the Western Slope. She hasn't met the boyfriend yet. :)

Well the team went 4, up tempo, but the head coach and I took a few short cuts so we could keep up. :)

A Saturday with no plans! Yea! Ron and I took Bayly out. She has gained some weight this summer and is a little out of shape. Ron is finally running again, too. He has really been stretching his hamstring and it seems to be helping. We went on a different road today without a ditch full of smelly water. Bayly loves the bad water, but come after her with clean water out of a hose and she acts like we are going to kill her.

Nice chilly fall day with a stiff northwest breeze. Got a lot of yard work done and took care of our new granddog for awhile. She is a 2 month old Siberian Husky and soo cute. I keep telling Ron that Bayly needs a puppy. :) He says we have enough dogs.
