October

These are some little grass sproutlets in the backyard. We seeded the yard 2 weeks ago and have been watering the heck out of it, trying to get it to grow. It's fun to see it finally coming up.

I spent the day yesterday putting 12 huge pallets of sod down in the front/side yards. The process involved bending and squatting over and over and over. The fronts of my quads and my lower back were barking today! Went for a 5 mile run and 2 mile swim anyway - November 1 doesn't care about my quads or the sod in my yard.

Working with Coach Dan on a plan for the last few weeks of training before the taper. I'm starting to get a little nervous here...
