After a weekend of rain and a little more, the sun is back for a predicted two weeks to end just in time for this year's Carkeek 12-hour Fun Run on 10/27 so enjoyed a morning detour for some surf'n'turf beach and grass running under and on golden leaves of autumn
Otherwise, the city's tearing up one of the few forested parks along the way for the new Light Rail that's already usurped the floating bridge express lane used for the Seattle Marathon for the last 20 years and I didn't give any money to the unemployed derelict in the office entre or the young guy and gal wanting cash for drugs, I mean because she said she was pregnant and couldn't work plus answering the scam call that turned out to be for the Fireman's Fund that just funds other existing legitimate charities. Just call me "Scrooge."

Hello everybody!
I just got home from our conference meet. We did not do well. It was cold and rainy and just plain miserable out there.
I took off work at noon so I could get my run done before the meet. 1 mile warm - 9 mile tempo run in 59:26 - 1 mile cool down.
Okay—gotta go. See ya!
Hey y'all, I'm about 180 miles due north of where Hurricane Michael is hitting Florida. All we've gotten is some rain and some occasional gusts of wind, nothing too bad here. Aircraft are either hangered (three spots) or chained down on the ramp (with relatively heavy fuel loads). Actually feels safer than what we do with our tankers. Those can't be chained, but they carry a LOT more fuel. Even at that, the wind can push them around some. Anyway, I broke Twocat's #1 rule (by design, I enjoy running in the rain) with a 5.2 mile run in the rain after work. Just under a 9 minute pace. Fun run. No lightning which is always nice. Also the new tires arrived for my road bike. They have red sidewalls which go nicely with the red accents on my mostly white road bike. It's the little things.
Have a great night everyone!
My little 2 mile run at home after work is hardly noteworthy, but if I don't post about it, it didn't happen. and I want those two miles to count.
night!

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
