6 miles that were okay run this morning.  Just okay.  I ran to South Medford HS and back and could have really used some gloves.

4 more miles tonight.  This time to St. Mary's HS, 2 miles around the track, then back.  First run in new shoes--Saucony Type A.  Didn't love them, didn't hate them.  Seem to have a bit more cushion than the Sinisters, but I doubt enough for a marathon.

Not a bad morning.  Wore a long sleeve shirt for the first time this fall...  I was glad I did as it was 40 degrees when I left the house at 5:45.  Felt pretty good, although at about 8 miles my right thigh felt a little off.  I think it was from the uneven road surface that I was running over at the time.  I'll keep an eye on it.

Nice and easy this morning.  I ran loops around the neighborhood; 1 lap around Albertsons, 1 lap around St. Mary's HS, then 2 more laps around Albertsons.  My leg felt better than yesterday, but not 100% better.  I hope this doesn't turn into something worse...

I worked in Klamath Falls today and didn't run before my early departure.  On my way back tonight, I stopped at the Running Y Resort and ran 8 miles, mostly on bike paths and dirt trails.  It was pretty fun to run somewhere new, but I was hungry, had a headache, and the elevation (4100 ft) made it a tough workout.  Probably the only chance I'll have to run here as it will soon be covered in multiple feet of snow.

Figure 8 run this morning as I looped around Albertsons first and then St. Mary's HS second.  I slowed down as much as my mind would let me and ran without a watch for a change.  A little stiff after last nights 8 miles followed by 1 hour drive home.

Officially my highest week ever!  I never thought I'd hit 60 in one week, mostly because I have had no desire to.  But that's just the way things worked out this week, so I'll take it.  I was out the door at 6:15, planning on 20 miles.  I ran Foothill the the winery and back (5 miles in 7:24/mile pace) then south on North Phoenix Highway past Home Depot and into the neighborhood then back (9 miles in 6:47/mile pace).  Then to finish things off, I ran on Foothill past the winery to McAndrews and back (6 miles in 5:54/mile pace).  In total, ran for 2:12:38, and average pace of 6:37/mile.  Overall it was just an ok run, but that's fine--they're not all great.

Ate 1/2 banana and water as I was walking out the door, water @ 5 miles, Powerade @ 14 miles.  Stomach handled it well.
