This morning Tyler and I, along with Mike L, went out for our "easy" training run. It was such a beautiful morning again with the fall, crisp mornings that I love so much. Seriously, I am having a much easier time getting up to go running these last few days, then i was back in July, I love this weather, It motivates me (for the 20th time now). Anyway, Mike came up to our house and we left from here to run the same coarse Tyler ran on Thursday. It was actually the first time that Tyler and I have run together all year, so it was very nice and fun to run with him for a change. I guess pretty much our date for the weekend. Tyler had to take it easy today because he is running the last 26 mile leg of the Wasatch 100 with a friend starting at Mid-night tonight. He left our house at 12:00(noon) to help run some errands, pick people up and drop them off, etc.., then will start running at mid-night and expects to finish about 8:00am in the morning (yes, I am starting to think he is borderline crazy). Do you realize that this would mean Tyler will put in more miles in a single day, then I did in an entire week, CRAZY!!! But, if he has the motivation to do it, then I am proud of him for that. Anyway, back to my run today. So at about 9 miles in, we actually ran into the group running the Spanish Fork half marathon. At first I kind of felt dumb but then it became pretty fun to watch that a little bit and not have the pressures of running it competitively. Okay, that is a lie, when I saw them all running, I wished that I was running with them. We saw Sasha, Michelle, and Tom, Kent Wing, some fellow bloggers (I know I am forgetting some) and then the Purple Ponytail caught my eye (Kim) so I ran with her for just a minute. She was just sailing along like it was nothing. GOOD JOB KIM ON TAKING 1ST PLACE IN YOUR AGE DIVISION, YOU ROCK!!!. So, All in all it was a great morning and fun to be out among so many trained and skilled runners. I am looking forward to the Payson Canyon 22 mile run next week before I start to taper in pursuit of the SGM, Yikes, It's COMING.............................. Avg pace: 8:39
