Headed out from the house through Lawrence and on to the river trails (bike trails to Mud Creek and back). Just a nice morning for a run. The leaves are still green, but yellow leaves were falling here and there. The sun streamed through the trees and a cool breeze picked up on the return leg back. Noticed the lack of spider webs across the trails - different from a week ago.
About a mile into the trails, heard the rumble of machinery harvesting the corn crop - you could see the equipment over the other side of the levee. Saw two deer about 15 meters to my left about a mile from Mud Creek.
On the way back, started to take one minute walked to ease up - that helped and I finished tired but without stress.
Noticed a marker just before the Mass Street bridge indicating the top level of the 1993 flood.
"Till Eulenspiegel" - thought came to mind I'll sign a quote for the Late Night with Mook Trail Run with Till's name. The fun run without sun; you do LNWM to vary your routine and enjoy a chat with friends on the trail; the headlamps some people will wear will impress you; etc.
Total run time: 2 hrs 28 min - marathon training run

What marathon are you thinking of running?
Wichita Marathon is Oct 16 - that's too soon. Next target date: Dallas in Dec?
Kim, Dallas would be a good possibility if I continue to train properly, i.e., gradually increase mileage without getting hurt. Wichita is in 2 weeks, so that's out. I figure I can survive 18 miles now. Hopefully two more months can get me to 26 mile shape. While in Colorado, heard it was 100 in Dallas again.
Gene, if you're doing any long runs and want some company let me know.
Sure Mike, after we go our separate ways this weekend.
