Boom! Tempo!

This felt good.

Temp was low 60's; sky was overcast.

Wore the minimum amount of clothing that I felt comfortable with (short sleeve tech shirt and normal running gear).

The pace was such that I really felt like I was running rather than jogging.  It really did feel great.

Tomorrow:

Schedule	2 @ 11:00
	1 @ 8:30
	1 @ 11:00
	2X1/4 in 2
	1 @ 11:00
400 recovery after each interval

Cool running

The temp during this run was in the low 50's with a partly cloudy sky.  I was loving it!  I did wear a long sleeve shirt, but that was a small concession in order to experience the thrill of not over heating.

Monday:

Schedule

6 @ 9:54

Tempo run!

Tummy feeling better

Yesterday, as I left work, I didn't feel so good, so I skipped the run.  Today, I was feeling better, so I ran.  I might do yesterday's run tomorrow and 12 on Saturday, or I might just do Saturday's 12.

Tomorrow:

Schedule 2 @ 11:00   4X1/2 in 4:30   1 @ 11:00
or nothing	Saturday: 12 @ 11:00

Not an easy six

Averaging nine seconds faster than the schedule calls for is not really a good thing.  As you can see, I had a difficult time with this new pace and really couldn't settle into the 10:22.  During the run I was either running too fast or too slow, so when I finally settled into a pace that wasn't too slow, I stuck there.

Tomorrow:

Schedule	2 @ 11:00
	4X1/2 in 4:30
	1 @ 11:00

Columbus also ran 8 on this day

Ah yes, Columbus day is the day we remember the great adventurer setting out on his three ships: the Pina Colata, the Sangria, and the Margarita.  What a lush!

For my Federally mandated day off, I drove to Evansville, IN and back to drop off Trace after the weekend.  We picked him up last Friday for fall break, and I didn't want to take off tomorrow to take him back then.

So, after I spent 6 hours driving...I did this.  Yay.  I guess.

Tomorrow:

Schedule

6 @10:22

11 on 10/12/13

I took a pit stop break at 5 miles to lighten my load, fill my water bottle, and down some Gatorade chews.  I was really happy to finally finish this one; it seemed to take forever!

Tomorrow: Nothing!
Monday:

Schedule

8 @ 10:36

10 on 10-10

The schedule is the schedule; I didn't look at today's date and say, "Gee, I think I'll run 10 miles to celebrate 10-10!"

Instead, I groaned and laid about putting off this run until it was cooler outside and just slogged it out.  The only celebration that happened was when I was done.  Whew.

Tomorrow: OFF
Saturday:

Schedule

11 @ 11:00
