Running in Republic

Because of other commitments, Dustin and I had to run 10 miles before his XC practice started, before school. So, we got up at 4:00 and headed to Republic so we could at least get 8 miles in before we finished by running a few miles with the students. It was a great morning. We got lost and ended up on an adventure. We saw a spray paint arrow and decided it must have been from the May day 5K. Then we took a side trail that cut through a neighborhood. Finally, we saw Wal-mart which basically meant that we were no where near where we needed to be. We ended up right where we started and after 3 miles of running around, decided to take a 5 mile loop with which Dustin is familiar. Kinda funny, but we kept up a really good pace. We saw Julie B out for a run with a friend (at least we think it was her - it was dark, and we think she yelled Dustin's name). Who knew Republic's neighborhoods were so windy (I mean curvy, not wind gusts...I guess they are the same words??? Apparently I have never written windy) Anyways...

Should be a great weekend! Taper weeks are coming up. So is the Washam 5K!

More signs of fall: the Halloween candy aisle- I'm not really into candy but the shinny wrappers are fun, ads for Halloween costumes, pumpkin baked goods (did you know that because of last year's bad crop, Libby has NO canned pumpkin until October! I had to get some at Mama Jeans).
