Beautiful long easy run out in the bayou, Lake Charles.  3rd run into my easy mileage weeks.  easing into 3 weeks of 80 mile target, long and easy baby!  Then it's time to hit it again.

 Really tickled today that the downhill 8K at Alta before the marathon with Rob and others has perturbed some "Brooks athletes" on our sponsor list.  Apparently Brooks ranks their sponsored athletes and even though I have been so slow this fall a 23 minute 8K bumps me into 4th nationally and some guys complained!  I have no idea what the "assisted" or "hard" courses are, most of this is for fun.  It's just cool to see a race we go to for the barbeque and company get some feathers ruffled!

13 easy miles along the Gulf of Mexico.  Undecided if this place is pretty or not, but cool gators!

Started out the hotel for a run and the concierge stopped me and told me under no conditions to go run in the area since it was 11pm.  She said there were gangs everywhere so I had to settle for the treadmill..

The kids and I went and ran this race with the neighbors.  Shelby and Natalie decided to run the 1 mile kids race so they ran with the neighbor kids and Natalie finished second overall!  I ran the 5k and battled back and forth with Carson (14 years old!) who just ran the TOU half in 1:17.  This kid wants to win more than any kid that age I've ever seen.  I must have passed him 4 times and he passed me back immediately.  We were laughing so hard at the end!  Tendon felt great even though I ran in flats for the first time in 5 months.
