All I can say is this weather is Beautiful!!! I am not excited for the winter to come. One of these days I will end up in St. George so I will not have to deal with the winters.

 Nice run today. Took advantage of the weather I went longer.

Well this is a not going to be a fancy race report. But went and tried the Halloween Half Marathon, really Beautiful run and a lot of down hill. Started out pretty conservative and that was really hard to do because of the down hill on the course. Don't know what my splits were because I left my garmin at home, and the miles were long and short never were consistant. So basically the whole entire run was off of feel. Around mile 6 I passed about 5 or 6 runners maybe even more that were already blown up from going out to fast on the down hill. Passed 3 more on the Parkway path and almost caught Ken Richardson only because he had a bathroom stop. 

Overall time  1:10:18 on my watch. Legs felt good and happy with a New PB!! Felt like I could have attacked the course harder but knew I had to stay conservative because of  the Ibigawa Marathon in Japan in a couple of weeks. Really would love to run well over there.

Congrats to Riley Cook who tore the course up today!! 1:07!! New PB for him also!!!

One more hard week of workouts and a taper for Ibigawa  then the season is over!! Going to enjoy a small break resting my body.
