So Wednesday night I did get in a short run at the Reservoir. That place is gorgeous right now with the leaves turning all different colors. I like running there, my only complaint is that it can get a little crowded at times. That was not a big problem on Wednesday though.

After my run I headed over to the Back Forty restaurant for the send off party for our runners going to San Antonio, Texas, to run the Rock'n'Roll marathon. It was a great evening with good food topped off with a couple of 25 oz brews filled to the rim so they became 26.2 oz brews. I thought that was fitting and all with us there to get pumped up for the marathon. For those reading this that don't know what I'm taking about, a marathon is 26.2miles, get it:-). I thought the beers was causing problems with my eyes on the way home, I swore I saw gas for $2.30/gal. turns out I wasn't seeing things and today gas is down even further. You guys back home in Norway stop laughing.

Thursday was another day of running around. I went to the LLS office to pick up my bike trainer and had every intention of getting a trainer workout in. Well between stopping by wor, taking Steffen (my youngest son) to his neurology appointment and picking up Andreas (my oldest son) from tennis there wasn't time to get the bike workout in. I fear this is starting to become a theme. I did however, meet up with a couple of runners from the marathon team in the evening and got in a good hours run. Nothing like ending the night on a good note.
