September 18-September 26
Ohio
Relaxing week in Warren. Slept a lot. Got to see two browns games(both wins) two WGH varsity soccer games, my dad on a horse, lots of friends and family for my dads surprise 60th birthday party. Jacob going to homecoming and two Sunday dinners. Got a few good runs in at mill creek park. Ready to head back to the mountains and climb a few more 14 ers before the snow comes.

YUTC
September 17
Worked runner check, went to the start of the trail near volney rogers and enjoyed watching all the runners come through and made sure they made the correct turn. Once all the runners were through, I ran to the covered bridge and helped direct runners on which way to go. Ran back to the log cabin. It was great to see old friends and make a few new ones, a big party with a few miles thrown in for the fun of it. Another successful YUTC and I am happy to have been a part of it.

Ran 7 miles around Warren and legs are feeling good. Slight hamstring pain but it subsided around mile two. Marking the trail tomorrow for YUTC 50k and 25k. Looking forward to getting back to the trails where my trail running started.

Coming home
September 14
No drama travel from DIA to Akron. Sat next to a chatter box home schooled kid. Do not understand why travelers feel the need to 1. Stand up on the plane as soon as we reach the gate and 2. Gather around the baggage claim like that can't see their luggage from ten yards back. Love fighting my way through the crowd as they stand, looking at a conveyor belt, which is going around in circles. Makes no sense. My sis picked me up and my first stop was the Warren Hot Dog Shoppe. Hung out with la familia for a bit and got to see Jacob play soccer, WGH VS Shaker Heights.

Chili cook off
September 11
Ran 10 miles with the Denver TraIl runners. Started at lookout mountain, near Boettcher mansion, down to windy saddle parking area and out on the beaver brook trail. Some nice technical trails that reminded me of the massanutens. After that, myself and the Combs family went to the Evergreen chili cook off. Fun mountain town festival. Live bands, fire fighter competitions and chili.

28 mile bike ride with Maggie, 14 miles up, 14 miles down. Deer creek canyon road to high grade road topping out in Conifer, almost 4,000 feet of elevation gain. She is a climber and I am still trying to find my legs and lungs. Cold descent. Over 40 mph on the downs is fun on skinny tires. Went to the corner bakery for lunch after our ride which is similar to a Panera but 10x better.
Well, I wake in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin’ me insane
