Crazy Fall Running!

This weekend started my crazy fall running.  I just ran in my 9th Hood to Coast as a member of the Fabulous Fifties Over Sixties team.  We compete in the Super Masters division - everyone must be over 50.  This year 5th of 7 teams in the division.  The weather was crazy - about 82F for my first leg (#11) on Friday.  By the time I ran my second leg (#23) around 2:30AM on Saturday it was windy, rainy and a thunder storm started.  For my third leg (#35) on Saturday morning about noon, I had a headwind of between 5MPH and 30MPH and 7 miles of uphill run!

Next weekend Dan Hansen and I will be running in the Freakin' Fast Marathon in Boise.   The course starts at the Bogus Basin Ski area and goes down Bogus Basin Road dropping 4000 feet in 20 miles followed by a gentle downhill into the finish.  We are doing this mostly as a training run for the Marine Corps Marathon on October 25th - the concluding event for the crazy fall running!
