fall rocks

so i did my usual 2 loops of palgrave on thursday - by myself as homey's resting his calf (moooo). threw in some squats, pushups and situps (150) and managed to cut another minute off our time! down to 1:03. i remember it taking us almost 1:30 for 2 loops in the winter with all the snow. felt good and finished strong! not sure what georgie's been up to !????

this is an easy week according to my schedule, so i only had to do 14 miles. met up with homey, captain, the beaver, christine, vents and annie at cooli's for a reasonable 8am start. cap immediately took note of annie's tights (not allowed until november 1st) and labelled her 'october'. welcome to the pylons annie - you were warned! cap and the beaver tried some 'nuun' electrolyte tabs. beaver compared them to alka seltzer, and i think they finally stopped fizzing in caps' bottle about half-way back from airport road. the beaver hit the port-a-potties at the start, and we didn't see him again until almost the 7th line - must have been some good reading material in there! anyways, the pace was a little quick, and we all arrived at the lookout around 45 minutes later.

here's a pic of the gang trying to figure out where the cn tower is.

so homey, vents, christine and annie turned back at the 7th, while the 3 of us kept going over to airport road. vents gave me his gps thingy so i could measure the actual distance. the guys pointed out both spots where ankle sprains were incurred last week.

here's cys' shrine - how ironic that he fell right at this pylon! what are the odds?!!!

took this pic just before our fave (NOT) last climb coming out of glenn haffy. gave me an excuse to psych myself up! so beautiful!

the 3 of us got back to the cars with no injuries! here's a pic of the cap just finishing up the end of the k2 climb. total running time was just under 3 hours for 15.7 miles.

we weren't too sure, however, about the status of the old guy laying in the back of his pickup. relief settled in as he started talking and moving around. we then made our way over to timmies on hwy 9 for a coffee and snack. it was here that the captain paved his way to hell. there was some lady blocking the entrance to the parking lot, and just as he pulled up beside her, and started the hand gestures and some hollering, he realized she was a nun. not good!! payback was swift, as he had to wait the longest for his food, and was served a very small version of the usual roll that comes with the chili combo! be thankful that's all that happened cap! we finished off our morning with more discussion about our upcoming trip to moab!

i love my running buddies!
