8 miles easy.  I met Ken early on the Riverdale Parkway.  The weather is much cooler now and headlamps were out in full effect.  The legs feel great.

Wow you didn't take a break at all after the Marathon? You are crazy! Jk amazing your feeling great. Maybe you should do another soon. Your in shape for it. What are your plans from here?

Angie: I don't know for sure. I will likely run one more half (either Provo Halloween or Snow Canyon) and then a Turkey race. Then maybe an early spring marathon...who knows. How about you?

Hey I'm running the provo Halloween half as well. Then not too sure from there. I'm thinking I want to try st goerge nxt yr. not too sure in spring though. Do you drive down the morning of the Halloween half? Wanna car pool?

Right now I'm leaning toward Snow Canyon over Halloween Half. But, we'll see. I ran Halloween Half last year and liked it and I do like to compare this year's times to last year's. But Snow Canyon sounds really fun.

If I do run the Halloween Half, I always stay in Provo at Amy's grandma's the night before Provo races. I've never driven the morning of to a Provo race.

Where is snow canyon? I am excited to run the Halloween half it looks fast and fun. Maybe I will see ya there....I will be dressed up as a witch...or that's my costume all yr haha.
