I went out for a run on the canal trail after we had gotten home from the cabin.  I went North into Brigham City so that I would have the storm and wind at my back on the way home.  I got rained on pretty good in the middle of my run but by the time I turned to come back the wind had settled down.  It was a good run for me this evening, kind of a progression run, eventhough it wasn't intended to be that way.  I started off with an 8:20 mile and ended running 6 minute pace.  I just kept getting faster and didn' realize it, nothing was pushed I like runs like that.  Every single mile was faster than the one before.  I felt great and enjoyed the fall evening.  I am glad that I didn't wuss out of going.  1:10:13

See any cougars recently?

What are you doing now that you don't have cross country? And are you coaching track?

No Ccougars! I get home at a decent time of day now that XC is over. If I can't find a job in January I will sub full-time and probably be the distance track coach at Bear River in the spring.
