Morning!  Got 6 planned for later, during the kiddos swim practice.  It's a gorgeous day here, after a week of rain and gloom.   I should be ending up near dark so it might be a good idea to recharge the headlamp soon.

qotd:  plans for the weekend?  Well, it's going to be very windy, so we may schedule a bit around DS and his kitesurfing.  But that's ok, because most of his best launch sites are by trails.  It's a win-win a lot of the time.  And a friend is having his annual oyster roast on Saturday.  There's always good beer and I like oysters, especially right off the grill.

Good luck to all the racers!

TT: glad you and Marley had a great time.

Runtraildc: sounds like a fun weekend. I think we all would like to join you tonight at you neighbor's. Sounds fun.

I plan 18 tonight. Can hardly wait.

Qotd: as much running as I can fit in. Hoping to go to run a new 16 mile loop on Sunday.

After 3 days off, we went for 7 this morning on leaf covered roads. It was very enjoyable

QOTD: I need to rebuild a pasture fence for the cows and cut more fire wood. Winters a comin.

Keeping with the pursuit to be happy...I decided to run as many stop signs as I could this morning...ran 3; than this girl in a bug forced me to stop at the fourth...when we hit the fifth I thought I would have to stop since the bug was in front of me still, but no she ran that stop sign so I did too!!  Dumb fun! Don't worry no lives were put at risk....

Last night's run was out of this world; as in when I left I was a pissed off rejected wife...when I got back I felt great!!!  A good 20 minutes of that run was in the dark.

Have stuff to run 5 at lunch...

QOTD:  Seeing Fury tonight, then Mt Biking tomorrow with the FH (think opposite of DH).  Sunday going to the city, FH thinks I should get a dog to replace him I guess...probably a better fit.  Then I'm going to have him buy me a really nice camera  and a Costco stop to load me up with groceries.  Isn't guilt grand??

runtraildc:  That  sounds like a good weekend especially the oyster bake.

AT: That sounds pretty good too...

Good afternoon all... 7 miles on the rocky, south side of green lane last night. Nice evening. A few photographers were out trying to catch photos of the fall foliage on the opposite side of the lake. The north side gets most of the evening sun and the trees sort of pop this time of year and reflect down into the lake as well. One of the photographers was stationed at LadyB's regular water stop and of course she went down the bank to cool off and get a drink. He snapped a few photos of her slurping away.

Today was just a lunchtime road run of 8 miles looping into town and back. There was a tree down across the road just outside my neighborhood coming back, stopping a few cars including the mail lady. Some dude and I managed to drag it out of the way. Yay for my civic duty.

QOTD: I might jump into a local 10 mile trail race on Sunday, the Evansburg Challenge. THis was my first trail race 11 years ago. Might be interesting to see how I do. The trails there are relatively tame, but there are two wide shallow creek crossings. So that, watch some college/NFL games, mow the yard and the leaves, walk and/or run the dogs.

Queen - Glad you are getting some runs in now. FH... classic.

 

my ex  Never did that for me! He just left me with all the credit card debt! Why do u ride bikes with him and stuff? B@stard...sorry! Flash back to my now ex. Just to tell u...what goes around comes around. My ex's gf ended up sending him to prison for two years.

 

How old are your kids? Are they doing ok?

I guess we are "uncoupling" as breaking up slowly so we remain cool with each other as we unravel assets.   We've been together 22 years hard to just turn around and hate the guy.  ..We don't have kids but have a dog Earl, he doesn't know yet as nothing has really changed in his world.

I'm currently on the Korean resort island of Jeju Do. Got up and did 10 miles this morning. Ran along a marked trail but still manged a few wrong turns. Overall a nice cool morning and a great run. I was feeling like I was fighting a cold but by the time my run was over it was gone. I would have loved to have run up to the top of the volcano but didn't have tie.

Then had to attend a meeting, which was just an excuse to play golf. Played one of the nicest courses ever.  You haven't played golf until you attended an Asian golf outing.  Now we're off to dinner.

Sue, hang in there.

qotd: see above.
