Nice and easy 8.5 miles this morning.  Nothing too exciting, although I did wear gloves for the first time.  I didn't really need them after I got going, but that's okay.  No effects from Saturday's run.

9 more miles tonight after work.  I was going to get up at 4 tomorrow and run, but that sucks.  Running twice in 1 day just sucks less, so that's the plan I went with.  Nice and easy, with the ipod, right at 7:00/mile pace.  Pacing was even; there was only a 15 second difference between the first half and the second half.

6.5 miles this morning around Vancouver, WA. Great place to run as there are plenty of sidewalks, wide streets and bright street lights in the early mornings.

9 miles today in the hills above East Medford.  Felt pretty good and got a great workout.  My right calf felt a little tight with only 1 mile remaining, but seemed to go away by the time I got home.

There was a 10K in Jacksonville this morning, but I decided to just stick around in town and go for a long run instead.  I'd like to race more often, but it's not working out lately.  32 degrees when I left my house--winter is fast approaching.  I started with 5 miles in 6:52/mile average and then got some Powerade.  Another 4 miles to Jill's house in 6:37/mile and then some water.  Started the tempo portion from there--ran north to Olive Garden, then south on Crater Lake and south on Biddle, then east on Jackson.  I was shooting for anything under 6:00/mile.  Splits were: 5:47, 5:26, 5:40, 5:37, 5:42, 5:46.  The last mile was rough as most of it was uphill, so I'm pleased I was able to stay within goal.  5 more miles to finish off the run in 7:00/mile.  Long run which feels good to have in the books.
