run to work

5.5 miles easy to work today. Hoping to take the long way home, through Bear Creek Park, Section 16, and Red Rock Canyon.

Been a rough week with the tree and my brother visiting, sleep has taken a back seat.

Two races this weekend, both of which I'm going to take out too hard and suffer the rest of the way. Tortoise and Hare 5K on Saturday, Platte River on Sunday.

Still keeping an eye on the possible gov't shutdown. The GC is the pic on this article about what could possibly happen. Looking into some other cool stuff to do in that area if the worst comes to pass. Not too worried about it, since things could definitely be worse:

If the government shuts down for an extended period of time, the Department of Defense says troops, including those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, may not be paid on time. Troops are guaranteed back-pay but the pinch will be more immediate for military families at home, who may be forced to choose between food and rent if they don't know when to expect a check in the mail.

Don't worry though, all those politicians making the call will still get paid.
