Wore myself out on the trip to Missouri (staying up 29 straight hours will do that). Slept most of the day Saturday, took Jen out to dinner, worked, then hit the mill this morning when I realized that the dawn temp was 63 (on November 30???) Run went OK, Got in 15K in 89 minutes, not pushing at all, just cruising. One month left in the year and 225 miles left to get to 2000. Can't afford to miss many days and need quite a few 10-milers. Now that football road trips are over (possible exception of bowl), less reason to consider skipping days.

Did 30K this morning in three hours and pushed pretty hard to do that. But it's done. Only 207ish to get to 2000.

Finally got out at almost 3 and did my recovery run. Felt good enough to stretch it to 9ish; need those extra miles and tenths to get to 2014 or especially 2055. Kept t low and slow until the last mile, still barely under 10:30 average. That's fine, just wanted to work out the kinks from yesterday's 18+.

I sat down today and did my training plan for May (Toronto?). A 20-week plan needs to start a week from Sunday, so none too soon. Plugged in an off week for the ski trip and for GP races I may throw in along the way. I'll need to make sure I included enough miles to get to my 2014 goal(s).

Out in the mist with the crack o' chickens crew. Slow, slower, but got it done, stretching out to 9 with two loops around the lake. Thought about hill sprints but legs were kinda iffy since yesterday's run ended at 4:30 p.m. Maybe hill sprints tomorrow, or intervals or something.

Sore. Tight. Humid. Rainy, Traffic. Just generally yuck. Got 7 done anyway, somehow. Don't think I'll be doing 15 in the morning though.
