AM. I ran some easy miles with Larry towards the canyon and back. We stopped at Building Q (where I start working on Nov. 10) and explored it a bit. I've heard some of the buildings have showers and I was hoping to find some in Q. No luck, but we didn't really look that hard. Verdon told me today there are some in K he used to use.

PM. I ran the Lake View route with Nathan, Cory, and Darin. My average pace was 8:20. It was nice to have lots of company for my final noon run. The weather was sunny and warm, well above normal for late October. It was awesome. After the run I cleaned out my locker in the fitness center and turned in my lock. I'm sure going to miss the noon runs with my Novell buddies. Tom's going to have to keep blogging (once he gets healed and running again) so I can keep up a little on how everyone's doing.

I sure wish I could have been on the run Paul. I'm looking forward to perhaps doing some Saturday runs with you and your buddies once I'm back in the game again.

Best of luck with the new job. Hope you can find a shower, I guess it's not like the old days when I worked up there and they had a fitness center and a zillion showers in the center of the campus. Those hills will keep you tough and fast.
