<p>Good morning friends!  I was up bright and early on a beautiful, cold, and sunny day.  I took the dogs for a mile walk while DH got some extra beauty sleep, and now we're getting ready to go for a spin class.  He doesn't know it, but I arranged to have the spin instructor play our wedding dance song during the song rotation.  It will be a great surprise!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Later we're hoping to hike our favorite short trail with the dogs, and then we're going out to dinner to celebrate our 6th anniversary.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a gorgeous day here, sharp and sunny and dry (about 48 degrees).  Perfect hiking and running weather.  I hope to watch some of the Chicago marathon on TV if I can find the right channel.  DH is hoping they'll repeat some of the Yankees game from last night on TV at some point today.</p>

<p>Happy Anniversary, Susan!  What a nice surprise you planned!  Make sure to let us know how it went!!  And thanks for sharing a photo of a beautiful couple. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>12mile run for me, the longest since early August.  My body knew I had a cold and my legs reminded me I mtb'ed short but hard for the last two days.  I still haven't decided whether I want to train for half marathon in Nov.  I just feel there isn't enough time to train properly.  I don't like not being prepared enough to tackle for PR (actual results of course are subject to other factors).  Though I would love to take my MTB to the yesterday's singletfack to see how it differs from the Stumpy29er, I had better not and give some rest. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Enjoy this beautiful fall day!</p>

<p>DOR. Was supposed to run 6 but my PF is squawking so I'm taking it easy since race day is next Sunday. I would really like to run 1 of the 3 HMs this year uninjured....</p>

<p>Susan, hope for his sake he remembers the song.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Early morning ride with small group.  Temp at start of the ride was low 40's.  It was chilly.  We ended up doing 20 miles.  Saw Thor with a group of runners.  This afternoon played 9 holes with BIL</p>

<p>DH was suitably impressed, and I got very emotional.  It was a great day.  We had a nice dinner out too this evening and I had *2* glasses of wine.  Big time for me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for all the good wishes,</p>
<p>Susan</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Happy anniversary Susan! Glad you had a wonderful day!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had a pretty good run of just under 13.5 miles around my hometown...first 6 miles were snaking up and down the streets near my parents' house, then second part was an out and back with some good hills. Only down side was I realized at the end of the run I hadn't hydrated enough, so ended up with a nasty headache almost immediately after. Won't make that mistake again. <img alt="smile.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//smile.gif"></p>
