A clydesdale no more!

My calves were a little tight at the beginning of the run but they loosened up after a couple of miles.  Felt decent during the run but I can tell that I am very dehydrated.  I don't think that I drank any water yesterday and the Coke that I had at the movie probably did more harm than good.  Finished a little short of my mileage goal for the month but that was due to a couple fo missed runs last week.  I was finally able to get back to 200+ which is a step in the right direction.  November needs to be another solid month of base building.

Heard the rain coming down hard so I threw on a couple of extra layers and headed out.  I feared it was going to be very cold.  It was warmer than expected so I over heated a little.  The last 3 miles were especially rainy and cold so the extra layers didn't go to waste.  Really struggled during the run.  It ended up being painfully slow.  Happy to get the miles in despite not feeling at the top of my game.

It's getting colder and colder each day.  I actually dressed perfectly this morning.  Felt a little chilly as I started but quickly warmed up and felt perfect for the rest of the run.  Pace felt good and effort was solid.  Of course, I always feel that way when I run without my watch because I don't have the feedback telling me how slow I am going.

I had just enough time to get in 8 miles but it was going to be close.  I had to choose a route that had no traffic lights because I was cutting it so close.  Ran from home to the new movie theater and back.  Nice and flat which was good since I wasn't feeling particularly great this morning.  Feet were slappy and form felt clunky.  Temperature was a little warmer.  Great way to start the day.

Awesome run with Kam and Tara.  Drove to the LPT and ran 4 miles before they got there.  Met up with them and headed out on the LPT.  First half of the run was a little harder than I would have liked (probably due to the headwind).  Felt a lot better on the way back.  Had a lot of fun today.  Long runs seem to go by a lot quicker when you are running with company.

Ended up a little short on mileage this week.  Close but not quite where I wanted to be.
