Curtain Call

Went out for a nice 5finger hour. Probably the last of these beautiful spring-like November days.

Felt so good. Got 7.6 miles done. I was happy about dropping the pace in the 2nd half. Thats nice.

Tiny little blisters on my 2nd toes. From what?

Then a cool little hike with my amazing family. It was my boy's 2nd birthday!

And finally, the finale. Closing night. Sold out crowd with a waiting list. Good show. I still think last night was the best, but tonight was really good! I already miss it. What a fun thing to do and a fun group of people! Thank you Carolyn for roping me in!

Old stompin ground

Ricks Muffler was fixing my, well, muffler, so I went for a 32 minute 5fingers stroll through the old hood. 4.35 miles. Felt great. This November weather is AMAZING!

Speaking of amazing, 5th of 7 shows tonight. Jefe and Hintze were there. Good times.

2 runs

One on the trails - 2.14 miles in 23:48 - hilly!

On around the pavement twice - 2.17 miles in 19:20

Just putin' time in with Sean.

Pro Trail Runner

Love getting paid to run trails with Sean.

2.9 miles in 33 minutes.

Rocky for 5fingers.

Hills and mud, too.

Very nice!

Oh, and 100 manmakers earlier. (66 + 34)

Halloween Half

My Bros in Law, Federico and Klorissa and I ran the 13.1 together. Well kinda.

I started cruisin on the big steeps after Sundance and thought I had enough of a lead that I could remove my tights and still run the last 7 miles with them. Somehow I missed them and I thought they were way behind. So I ran upstream and wasted a good 5 minutes looking for them. Then the Jeffs and Simpson dudes from V2 ward were handing out H20 at vivian. I asked if Dwight had passed and they said "yeah like 5 minutes ago." So I had hosed myself. I was now behind the 2:10 pacers with 7 to go. I knew the cut jeans would chafe but it was worth it. I had to be doing 7s or better. I finally caught Dwight with 3 to go. We brought it in together for a 1:49. Poor Korey was chasing a ghost. He poulled off a 1:42. Thats quick! Better than my pr. It was fun though. Those who have seen Antoinne Dodson appreciated my costume. Those that hadn't probably just thought I was racist or something. I'm going to call it 14 miles because of my back tracking and messing around like a dum dum.

Training?

Figured I should run a bit before the half this Sat, so I hit the weather window perfectly and put on the injinjis and 5fingers. I ran 5.75 and felt real good. Except for my right arch. Feels like a joint is outa whack. I'll go see Frogley. He'll help me out.

That was around 42 minutes. I felt fast*ish.

Mtn Bike with the Wife again.

Such a nice fall day. Thanks Christy!

We rode for like 2 hours. I don't know how far, but I got in two barrel runs - sweet.

Way cool to hang out with the little lady.
