Digging rewirement.

Bro called during last week’s Appalachia journey & asked if I could travel to Kansas City, attend a show with my Mom & Sis (& keep it quiet).  Middle of week, Wednesday?  Hmm… no work constraints, just a matter of reserving a kennel spot for Ro.  Absolutely!

Weekend marathon in New England — could reschedule departing flight from St Louis (instead of Denver) & spend a day with Sis.  Rewirement getting better & better 🙂

Show was a big hit –‘though I think we could have better tempered the surprise.  Every 30 minutes another child randomly appeared.  Seemed more like a family intervention as we all gathered around Mom in the hotel lobby.  LOL>  Honestly just amazed I could keep my mouth shut.  I’m not great with secrets — & Bro did an incredible job with this one!

Morning miles with Sis, family breakfast goodbye, 4 hours highway to St Louis.

Meanwhile… Nor’easter caused my marathon to be cancelled & hurricane-winds forecasted for my Colorado home.  Should’ve stayed in Kansas City!  LOL>  Lost minimal food during our 42-hour power outage — thanks Mom for prayers — used time to formalize upcoming week’s training block & catch-up on sleep.

Bear Peak hike (altitude training), NCAR hill repeats, a SOLAR eclipse — then 5 hours Friday to Fruita, on Colorado’s Western Slope.

Trail day tomorrow.  10-day break from marathoning, ready ready ready to run.

Desert RATS 50K (Racing Across The Sand), an UTMB qualifier.

KC to Fruita
