Had a nice run at lunchtime.  It felt like a nice honest effort.  

6.75 @ 7:09 ave pace

4.6 @ 7:25 - after work - I thought it was faster than that, but I guess the watch doesn't get it wrong.  A little ache in my left foot.  We'll see how it goes.

Speed day again - I decided to do some 1000m repeats at 10k pace on the road.  It took me a couple to get a feel for the pace but I think I locked in at the end.  I did .3 miles in between.  1.7 to and back from the starting point.  The ave pace for the repeats was at 5:48, which is probably about right - at least a good starting point.  Glad this one is in the bank.  I will try to keep doing these this fall, building the number of repeats up towards 10. 

3:48 (oops), 3:36, 3:30, 3:34, 3:34, 3:33

PM - 4 recovery miles -  7:28 ave pace

After I got the kids, I officially signed up for the half on Oct 30th.  That'll be my goal race.  Then I'm going to do the one with the ATC on Thanksgiving.  It'll be a new course so that should be fun.

4.7 @ 7:19 ave pace

PM - 5 @ 7:13 ave pace - felt more or less good - the tempos are only in the mid 80s which is nice for a change.

my 10 miler for the day was interrupted by a doggie who broke off his toenail really really low, which caused quite a lot of blood.  I took a lot of time this morning trying to stop the flow, but it just wouldn't stop.  So I had to take him to the vet and drop some coin (eating out money for the next month or so) on sedation and some vet expertise.  Then I took my son to the doc to get his 3 weeks checkup since being diagnosed with Lyme disease.  Well, my wife and the appointment lady apparently got mixed up and we didn't have an appointment - and Sawyer's doc wansn't even there today.  So we drove home...  Which actually turned out well.  Cause my wife had to work from 6:45 -8 or so.  So I got in my run - abbreviated and all- before she had to leave (to the minute).  I was at an up tempo.  Not sure what that pace really is but on that route it is a dang good workout.  Got stopped for traffic crossing for a min so that helped the last uphill mile. 

7.1 @ 6:53  ave pace

At least I got one in and it wasn't a goose egg for the day.

That was a rambling entry for me -wasn't it?

Made some blueberry muffins for the family and then snuck out before everyone was awake.  Ran a similar route to what I did last week.  I felt ok for the most part.  A little slow and plodding but ok.  I'm still not used to checking out mentally on two hour runs. This one was ok on the way back which is a good sign.  The route is basically alot of hills, with more climbing on the way back.  The split was right on even, so I'm happy about that. I think that was the same as last week.
