B-hills loop in reverse. It was kind of windy, rainy and darkish out this morning. Calves are a little tight from Saturdays speed workout. Hope to get a good well rounded week in. 

P.M.

Looped then middle B-hills run. Felt kind of slushy from a big lunch. Plus my shoes are starting to feel their age... now over 800 miles on this pair of Asics Pulse.

Stone Cliff loop with Logan this morning. It was a brisk 44 F when we started and down to 42 F when we finished. By far the coolest temps so far for the season. I had to pull out the ear band and gloves. Nothing special this morning with a 7:16 avg for the run.

B-hills loop. Chilly again this morning. I guess it's time to finally let fall come in and in that case I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas food. Mmm!

P.M. B-hills loop. Ran in some new shoes. I ordered 2 new pair of Asics Pulse. The last pair I had got over 800 miles on them... not too bad outside the Sasha standard. I wish every run could be in a new pair of shoes.

DC/ River Road loop. Very chilly this morning. 37 at my house and 34 at the Little Valley Weather Station. Burrrrrito! Actually once I was out running it wasn't bad at all and by the end of the run I was ready to be done with the gloves and ear band. 

DC/ River Road loop again. Had to hit the same porta potty that I hit this morning. So doubles with that too. Felt pretty trashed coming back up River Road.

DC/ River Road loop again. I just didn't want to think about it so I ran this loop out of repetition today. When I woke this morning I felt like junk but 4 miles into the run I was feeling pretty good about the day. Running weather is just priceless right now. This morning was a little warmer than the last couple days... 45 F when I got out. 

6.7 miles this evening around the middle B-hills loop. Temps and conditions were amazing. I had just got done golfing 9 holes with my Uncle and Father-in-law where I played pretty good. Then did a quick run before dinner. Had fun just being outside.

Did a fairly taxing out and back run with Dave and Logan from Logan's house out through Keyenta and up the Gunlock road. On the way out we just chit chatted but still kept things moving hitting the turn around in 1:17:40. There are a lot of hills and rollers in both directions but going out is by far slower.

At the turn we naturally increased the pace but didn't really get going until around 14.5 miles into the run. From then on it was a solid push. I worked the uphill sections at around 6:30 pace then pushed the downhill out at sub 5:30 pace. I hit over a 12 min negative split coming in at 1:05:08 for the return flight- a 6:30 avg. 

Really good workout at the end of a long week. Legs wanted to give up Friday morning but I was happy to see I could work through it and put together a solid run. Now I'm getting another head cold!
