Monday Oct 30th

So, I finished 12th, well 13th after the results were revised. Not bad considering the long climb, which was the only place people passed me. I'm started to get stoked for the next two races, as the are flatter and faster. My kind of courses.

Ran today for 4 miles, felt good.

Yin yoga was also very good. It's such a good class.

Tomorrow night I'm climbing Mt St Helens!!! Can't wait to see the crater with the new lava dome. I haven't been up there since the late 80's, 1988 I believe. I think I went after that, just can't remember when it was. It was "exploding" and ashing a lot last year and the Forest Service final opened it to hiking again. It's only 8000' or so, and not technical. It's going to be freakin' cold though. It was 29 degrees at sea level this morning!!! I'll get some photos for the entry on Wednesday. We'll summit in the dark and wait for the sun to rise, should be way cool!
