Great race today in Pinedale, Wyoming. Hilly and 7,400 feet. Happy with my performance. Miles 12 and 13 were my fastest miles at 6:39 and 6:42.

Free BBQ and Beer now.

PM: Took a pretty good nap and watched some football back at the Teton Court Hotel. After that I spent the afternoon walking around Pinedale. Went to the outfitter store and had a nice conversation with a 74 year old retired guy from Seattle who spends a month to 6 weeks here every year in September and early October. He fly fishes, hikes, camps, and climbs mountains. I was jealous. Then I realized that there's absolutely no reason why I couldn't do that in a few years. After that I went to the Wind River Brewing Company for dinner and then went for a 3 or 4 mile walk along the most scenic portion of today's half marathon course. It's light jacket weather and I had a stunning view of the Wind River Range - they already have snow on the peaks.

As the years go by, I'm enjoting these solo getaways and the solitude they bring. But today I really wished Ann had been able to come up with me because it was one of those days that would have been nice to share with her.

Nice getaway with running, some beer and hiking. Know what you mean about solitude vs company, both good with time and place.

sounded like a great trip that filled instead of drained

Sounds like a really nice scenic solo running trip. Congrats on the race too!
