AM: Planet Walk 5 untimed.  Turned on the ipod and went for a jog.

PM: Jardine Juniper (9.5)

Less than a mile into the run, I look up the trail and surprise. I see 3 moose.  A Papa Moose, A momma Moose and A baby Moose.  Uh oh.   They weren't too far away (a stone's throw) so I stopped my watch, bent over and picked up a rock and stood there.  The parents were not too happy to see me there, so I backed away.  I really didn't want to pack it in and go home so I decided to try and get by the family. It took a few minutes and some weird noises and grunts (from all of us).  The rest of the run was pretty uneventful after that.  

  Pace was hard for the uphill but I toned it down for the downhill.  The last mile was pretty chill due to the early setting of the sun.  Lame

Deer Fence Loop from the house.  Medium effort.  Finally getting a bit more leg turnover these days.  About 2 mins slower than my fastest time on that loop.  I think I could set a new PR with a hard effort with my current fitness.  If I cared, I guess.

On my own today so I decided to head up to the mountains one last time before the snow hits for real.  I decided to head up Stump Hollow since that trail is so awesome (it was tough narrowing down the options).  I had a great time.  The wind was pretty brisk and I even saw some snow flakes but I was prepared for the cold so things went just fine.  I hit the sinks at 5 miles and headed east.  I found a trail that was mildly overgrown, but was fun to run on.  I ended up turning back once I hit a trailhead at the bottom.  Time to taper for my third and final race of the year.  The Antelope Island 50K.  The course is a mix of the Buffalo Run and the Mountain View Half Marathon with about 12 miles of new (to me) trail in-between.  Should be fun.
