"Let's Get It Started" October Run Challenge (Page 21)

I am really jealous! I LOVE Utah, especially the canyon lands. We camped at Bryce Canyon in August one year and froze half to death. We didn't even have coats with us. lol

Enjoy the change of scenery.

My internet and computer and touch pad at home are all acting funky. I guess I'll need to start bringing home my office computer to keep up with my training comrades. :-)

I biked 35 minutes yesterday, super easy, but it was ridiculously windy. Fortunately, by 8:30 p.m., the wind had died down, so I went out for a short run. It was cold -- in the upper 30s by time I got home, but it felt really good.

Even so . . . is anyone else missing the 100 degree weather so many of us had this summer? As I was layering up to get ready to run last night, I was missing the evenings when I could just throw on some shorts, top, shoes, and head out the door (with my light, of course).

I'm hoping for 8 miles today, since I missed the long run scheduled for Sunday.

RoniS - 2011-10-20 3:03 PM GO WEST!!! Sorry I haven't been around much, but I have been running.  Finished the Defiance 50k last weekend, and am right on target to make my goal for the month

Great job on the 50K!

Made my eight miles. Whew. I was worried at about mile 5 that I was going to need to cut it short to get home in time, but I kept at it and finished the plan.

The best part is that I don't have to run in low 40s high 30s tonight. That makes me very happy.

Good luck!

Got 8 miles in this morning, cool temp felt good. Hope to get 15 miles in tomorrow morning to finish a long back-to-back.

Take care of yourself.

Yea!  Progress is good!

Short 3.3 mile run this morning outside of Zion Nat'l Park.  Ran up Kolob Res Road.  Nothing special in terms of scenery... but the change of view is still nice.  I was going to leave before daylight (and may still have to tomorrow) but then I started thinking about the coyotes, and decided it might not be such a good idea. 

Oh well... of to go explore the park w/ the boys.

Coyotes are nothing to worry about - they're big ol' fraidy cats...  mountain lions on the other hand...

I hope the band helps. I thought about getting one when I was pregnant, and I wasn't even running. The load gets a little heavy at times. :-)

No running for me today: scheduled rest day. I am still going to do some strength moves, an easy bike ride, and some yoga in the evening. I have grown to look forward to my Fridays. :-)

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Sounds like fun!! When I run in the dark, I stick to the city roads (I usually run on the dirt roads outside of town) because of coyotes . . . well that and skunks, possums, bobcats, armadillos, and foxes, but mostly coyotes.

skunks are the worst and they are everywhere - I have seen them in the middle of town - just zig-zagging back and forth...
