From the way the weather felt this morning, we must be on the edge of Fall. School started back up on Monday for the kids, the overnight low was around 57, and the high school football team has their season opener on Friday. I cannot wait!! With two boys on the Varsity squad (I think both playing offense and defense), the next couple of years will be very fun, albeit stressful for Mom to watch. Guess I'll be sitting alone in the stands while she paces. Go HUSKIES! Whoop, whoop...oh yeah...this is a running blog...sorry...

Trimming, Climbing, Walking, and Running: 19-23 Aug 2010
Whew! Interesting week off. Per federal guidelines, I took a week off out of the bank (much needed, I might add). The last day I ran was the 18th of August (4.8 miles). I took the 19th off. The 20th, Dad called me and asked if I'd ran yet, and I said no. He said he could use some help trimming the hedges at the maze in the City Park. Being the good son I am, I said I would help. Well! You wanna talk about a physically demanding activity, I don't think I have ever sweat so much in 2.5 hours as I did that morning.

Running: 18 Aug 2010 - The Fog
I would say I got up bright and early this morning, but I'd be lying. It was early, but it was definitely NOT bright. 5:20 came early. It was another MCM running day. So up I got, and dressed did I and down the street my car did fly. I pulled into Car Quest right behind Michelle. Dan Staples was already there and warming up. We continued to stretch and chat while waiting for Angie. Just as Michelle was thinking Angie had bailed out due to the fog, she showed. We all chatted a bit about how far we were each going to run, jammed the ear buds in, started our watches, and took off.

Running: 17 Aug 2010 - Sweet Poison
Today was the first time I have ran in the rain. Maybe it is an early (or late) example of what Dam to Dam could be (or was) like. Actually, it was a light rain, so I wasn't drenched before running like this year's D2D runners were prior to start. After yesterday's 5.7 miles, I wanted something easy, so I decided to run my standby 5k. Funny, I say I wanted something easy...Two months ago I would have scoffed at a 5k being "easy."
