The Fall


In October we started getting snow here in Laramie.  It was exciting.  Ann and I built an Abominable Snow Penguin with all the snow in front of my apartment.  It was awesome!  I also was thick into training for the 10K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving in AZ.  Michael took me for a run in the mountains next to Laramie and we ran 4 miles in at least one foot of snow the whole time.  That was fun and truly a work out!  A week before Halloween we ventured to the little town of Manitou Springs, CO for a 5K race.  Michael didn't do as hot as he had hoped, but we had a fun time looking at some shoppes on main street and watching weird people that were all dressed up for the Parade of Coffins afterwards.  It really was almost creepy.  In all, a very touristy town.
