Arrrgh

You are a pirate.
Fun day with the staff.

One post-trick-or-treat mile in my costume perty late.

Costume design.

I know I should have been studying or something productive, but I made my pirate shirt instead. You see, my dear friend who I am preceptoree-ing for the next couple months is a huge Halloween guy and his entire office always dresses up in a theme. This is a pirate year. I just found out yesterday and hence spent my free time this evening putting my ensemble together. Oh, and I went for a onesler across the way. I love this weather!

Dutch Moon

Yes, its that time of the month again. Moodiness, complaining, mild cramping. Oh, and we go out and run under the light of a beautiful full moon. The usual suspects from last month. We're all on the same cycle now. We'll see if we can recruit some more peeps for next month. Wanna go? Call 555-5785 and I'll tell you where and when. Frog's watch said 4.6 and John's phone said 3.6. So I'll just call it 4 miles for purposes of record keeping. Yeah. BHM - " I love running naked." He claims he meant without a gps tracking device. Right.
Oh and did I mention shorts and short sleeve shirts? Love it!

Littl bitta mud

Not too shabby. It was gorgeous, I just wasn't feelin it, y'know? 1.3 big loop clockwise. But my legs are sore, which is weird if you look at my week of "running". I really didn't do much. Maybe it was my no warm up quick-ish mile last night, or maybe it was the yard work. Oh, I know. it was the bowling!)

Nightmare

Before christmas. Chickened out on the outdoor screening. I'm just another boring dad like the rest of them again. Fun though.
I bowled a 144 today. That may be my best score this decade (sad).
Got some lotsa yard work done, too. Ok. Bye now!
Oh and a 6:54 across the way in jeans. Whatever.

2% for looking in the mirror twice

Took the oldest to the high school les mis. Not too shabby.
Oh and BHM was there with his little lady.
And we sat by my pretend wife and her real husband.
Last day at mtnlands. Sad but exciting!
One little mile at the end of the day.

Love this valley

Stopped on the way home before picking up dinnerhumara for the fam. Broke a fairly easy course record in khakis, a polo, and my jacket. It was so cold I was coughing mucho. Hurts so good. Chalk up another mile-hooray!

Closet on wheels

All of my shoes are in my closet, I mean car. Same thing. Well, my car isn't here. The shoes I wouldn't mind running in are there. So I had a pair of brooks with no shoelaces. I woulda barefooted but its 30something degrees outside. Baby. Well, no shoelaces did not work out very well for me, so I carried them and did my mile in my socks. Why not? The dog didn't seem to mind. It is gorgeous out there.

return of dreadmill

yeah, its too cold and dark out there. Just one mile and some weaksauce situppy type fakercises.
Oh well. What can ya do, eh?

Slate*

Had a small break, went for a small run. 1.2 miles losing trail and going straight up and, you know.
neat, huh?

Have another ONE

Don't mind if I do on this fine fall evening.

Snuck one in

With the rice and peas on the stovetop and the garlic bread and salmon in the ovens, the lemon yogurt dill sauce was ready, I ran out for a quick mile across the street. Came back, changed, set the table - thanks kids - and we ate a lovely meal. Go me.

Threesome Nooner

6.5 miles with my homies wood and sb1. Got the dry creek downhill course record. Fun.

Then an outdoor halloween party with the kids and one of their little friends, and of course popcorn and brownies. I'll only share the things that make me sound like a good father on this here blog.

They paved paradise

It is still a "trail run", but I got to do a barefoot 3.4 miles on the newest paved tourist trail around. Pretty. Fast. Pretty fast. just over 7s. No shirt, no shoes, no problem.

one all by myself.

cold and windy prairie. What? on a weekday? You betcha.
Gotta do it. I even did a sit-up or two afterward.

My baby ankle

I ran off the trail. I twisted my ankle. I got rained on in a fine misty sunset. What a great little run on the way home. 2.4 miles.
I wish my eyes worked better.

night chill

starry. peaceful. Doggo hung out with me a little. Add another ONE.

night night

imagine if they wake up while I'm across the street running. Father of the year.

1 mile

Dam! That was rough.

Dam half. Wifey dropped me at the dam. I had a few photo ops. I started at the back and made my way up toward the front. 15th or so with all the silliness. Fun fun fun.
BHM took 1st! Frogger got bronze! Kudos. And the ladies did well, too.
I found it difficult to breath tat times and my choice of clothing was less than ideal and quite warm, but I had to.

I got it done in just a hare under 2 hours. Sadly, the course was only 12.9. Bummer.

Pre school

Like I ran one mile before (pre) school. Out there and back.
Rainy friz. So good.

One again

Same one as always. Slow and tight back.
Friz

Friz

Es el see

Dry creek. Awesome. I can't believe I've never run that before. I like it a lot. Had I known there was a downhill segment, I would have run AT LEAST 40 seconds faster. 5.7 miles. Too much stop and texting.

Tests, evaluations, flu shot, oil change, friz, twisted ankle, trimmed the lawn. Full day.

On the way home

Just a mile in just khakis on the trail at east canyon. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Friz is BACK this week!

HB Pops!!

70 years old!! He's twice my age. We had a nice time.
I got out on the usual late night one miler loop while the younguns slumbered.

Good Morning*

Stopped for a lone 5.5 on the way home. Gorgeous. The sun was right where the moon was the other night. It gives so much more light, though, yknow? It was frigid and perfect. Went for the new uphill record and got er done (for now), then set up a new downhill segment 5:27 pace for 0.8 miles downhill. That would be cool to do on the flats, yo. Good stuff.

Cold again

Yup, winter is on its way. 1.2 with sw1. Then tinkered with some man makers and light core appreciation.

late night solo

I stayed on the roads cause I'm chicken. But I got me 1.3 miles in under the faint moonlight in the brisk 10:00 hour at the barn. Peaceful.

ay

sooooo, uh....
that's the closest I've cut it yet. One beautiful, chilly, moonlit, lonely mile, really really late.

tenderfoot

Met Steve-o for a quickie at the track on the way home from work. Bear Feet. Rar! One

Fever

Full Moon Fever, that is. We doubled our numbers. Steve-o, BHM, JE and I went out for a sorenson loop. 5 and a half trail miles in just a bit under an hour. We were a titch ahead of the moon rise, though. Bummer. But there were head lamps (kind of) and old guy jokes and irreverent conversation, so all was well. So beautiful. Autumn is definitely here.
