Last night's run sucked. I mean, it was great because I was able to do it (for which I am daily and eternally grateful), and because Skyler came with me on his bike - but it was nothing like the last couple longer runs where I've been faster than ever (for me) and felt high as a kite and bullet proof. This run was a totally average pace, and it was a little tougher than normal. Disappointing. Skyler spotting the (possibly juvie great horned) owl on the telephone pole by the railroad tracks was super cool, though. That put him at about eye-level with us, since we were going over the bridge over the railroad tracks on 92nd by Carrabba's.
I'm a little worried about the trail closing by the house until November 1. I'm guessing it's already closed - there were signs last week announcing that it would be closed until November 1, but it wasn't actually closed yet - but surely that meant the closure was/is imminent. I believe they have "detours" and I'm guessing it's just the one or two bridges affected by the light rail crap along 36...but totally have to go check that out and see what effect that's going to have on the running/biking. I'd been curious if that trail was open year-round (I didn't run on it last winter, because dark), and I guess that answers that question, yay!
I'm dreading all the coughing and hoarking that's going on at home and at work - I'm really hoping for an epic eight miler this weekend, and to be healthy, and trained, for the Moab Half in a month.
Not running- or wheeling-related...Chris said he wants to ski Vail this season when I go. Well, he's going to snowboard, not ski. I wish I had the patience to try boarding again, but life is just too short (and I'm too old).
