AM: 12 miles around WalMart, the HS and eventually the hospital. Cool temps but I was fine with gloves and a t-shirt. I'm off to Coos Bay so some more miles tonight... PM: 11 miles for possibly one of my best runs ever. I felt fantastic! It was 75 and blue skies in Coos Bay. Incredible weather for October. I ran 4 miles from the hotel and ended up at the HS. Usually the track is locked up like Ft. Knox but the football team was practicing so I jumped on the track for a few laps. Mile 5 in 6:50, miles 6-8 in 6:46, 6:46 and 6:42. My legs were feeling zippy so I thought I'd see what I could run mile 9 in. VERY surprised to run a 4:57 on my 21st mile of the day. Maybe I was trying to show off for the football players who looked like they were going to collapse as they ran simple 10 yard gassers. 2 miles for a cool down back to the hotel and then City Subs for dinner. What a good day! |
