Holy moly people- 3:45 is too early to wake up and run.  I managed to get ready and warmed up by 4:15 (5 min later than planned).  I move so slowly in the morning.

Ran my 11 miles.  Paces were all over the place.  I need to start getting in a groove and finding my marathon pace so I can practice that pace on these silly morning runs.  Avg was 9:19. 

The only good thing was, there were less cars than usual on the roads.  on the spokes I ran off the busy road, I only saw one car that wasn't out delivering newspapers.  The busy road was just about the same as usual. 

No big vans or snakes today.  It's a good thing- I don't think I would have been able to handle much more than just running.

Bonus:  I got to see the moon set just as I started out.  It was an awesome huge orange ball setting into the tree tops.  I'm glad I got to see it, even if it was only for 10 minutes.

Dragging most of the day after the run.  Not so much sleepy, but my body feels tired.  And it's Monday, so I'm going to blame it on that.

Hope all the FRB Herriman folks made it safely out of harm's way.  Prayers for those who weren't so lucky.

Only 4 homes burned - seriously a MIRACLE!

You were up WAY too early! 11 miles on a MOnday is hard, I hope that peg-leg quad is doing better today. Hope you get a nap, or at least a little doze.

That is seriously too early. Why so early?

RAD- a little nap snuck it's way in, but boy was I cranky all day.

Carolyn- I need to be home by 6 am. So I had to start at 4:10 to get all 11 miles in. Tomorrow is only 9, and I feel like it'll be a treat to only have to leave at 4:30. Something sick and wrong has happened in my life when I'm glad I get to sleep in till 4:05 am.
