16 MILES- LONG RUN. YEAH, I THINK THAT QUALIFIES AS LONG RUN.
LEFT CAR AT 9:44AM AND FINISHED AT 12:52PM.. SO NOT BAD TIMING. GREAT WEATHER- HIGH 40'S WITH SUNSHINE AND BLUE SKIES.- SPORTED THE SUN SCREEN AND LONG SLEEVED SLC MARATHON TSHIRT. NO ISSUES- JUST ME, THE ROAD AND THE TUNES. THE ROUTE WAS 4 OUT TO THE EAST , 4 BACK.. THEN 4 WEST
AND 4 BACK. LAST 2 MILES- HAD A HILL- BUT PUSHED THRU- MADE IT TO THE TOP.
SUCCESSFUL LONG RUN. TRIED JULIE'S SUGGESTION WITH THE JOLLY RANCHERS.
WORKED GOOD- BUT TEETH HURT NOW.. HAHA- REST NOW UNTIL WEDNESDAY.

Wednesday, Oct. 26th- 7 MILer
7 Miles today. Got up early- should have gotten out of bed sooner- but got it done anyway.
legs sore and tired from long run on Sunday- took it easy.
Batteries died at mile 3, bummer. 4 remaining with no tunes- getting used to having the tunes
to keep me moving. Note to self- get batteries.

Sunday, Oct. 23rd- 12 MILES LONG RUN
12 MILES. The body remembers how 12 miles feels- once you get past say mile 9.
You realize that you don't really control the movement or the body after mile 9- it just goes.
It just goes with hopes that you (the crazy brain that set out to conquer 12 miles today)
will somehow we happy and content for a day or two - once you return to the car.
It was a long slow run. Started at 9:40ish and finished at about 11:50am.
Set out water and goo.. on the course.. at mile 6. A car ran it over.. or maybe a bird took a tossle with it- not sure.. had to suck the goo.. in between the pieces of gravel that were "one" with the goo packet. Lovely. But did it. Done. Tommorrow- Rest day. Thank heavens.

Wednesday, Oct. 19th- wow, I can run!
8 Miles today- 4 out and back.
was on a time limit- so had to push it the whole time
felt good until after mile 6. It's weird how the body adapts and goes right back at it
again- as if there has been no time off. I'm back on the pavement- and feeling good.
It really is dark at 6am now. :) Today started 6:25am- ended 8:05- 44 degree start
54 degree finish.

Tuesday, Oct. 18th- Back on the pavement
3 Miles today-
after 3 weeks off- this was an easy 3 miler. Out and back from the gym-
6:30am- It was an amazing run.. moon had just had a lunar eclipse
(missed the eclipse)- but it was high overhead- and very bright.
It was pitch dark - besides the light beams from the moon. Amazingly inspiring!
7 weeks till Vegas Marathon- have to get in gear- or won't make it for the race.
