overtaking haynes

ran a hilly 2.7 miles to kristin's house then did 4 miles with her to and in huntington. her longest run ever, i was very impressed with how she handled it. then ran home after a little break with some running in putnam park.

5 miles during lunch in 39:10. After work ran to gallows hill to old stagecoach and took the new 1.4 mile turkington falls loop trail and back. didn't have the gps watch today but run was ~ 5.6 miles. 

brought out the headlamp for the first time this fall. 1hr 20 min run. It's now dark at 6:10. it was annoyingly foggy and rainy so visibility was very poor. another day of rain is scheduled for tomorrow. 

ran 5.4 miles at 7:31 pace during lunch. had to run from the work parking lot which is a horrible place to start. i was blocked in by a truck that picks up our hazardous waste. it always seems to come during when you want to leave. there were actually 2 trucks blocking everyone in today. anyway i eventually got to good terrain after 2 miles and found a good hill that climbs a couple hundred feet very quickly. unfortunately it isn't very good running anywhere but the hill. 

 ran 3.2 miles after work on costa lane loop then ran 1.6 with little legs up and down whortleberry. she did well on the hill even though she wanted to stop.
 

5.3 miles during lunch in 7:40 pace. Then 4.5 miles after work 8:20 pace. a bat changed my running route tonight. after running up my road i decided to do this out and back on a dead end road i like. this bat kept flying back and forth all erratic above my head. i thought they were hibernating now with the snakes but apparently not all of them. i hope this one dies soon or goes into a cave. 

ran after work. it turns out the new turkington falls loop trail advertised as 1.4 miles doesn't even quite make it to 1.2, it's 1.16 miles. 

3 mile out and back run with kristin on southern end of centennial trail. very warm today. she did good, running under 10 min pace. I had parked my car at huntington park so run down centennial trail again and cut out onto the road at 2.3 miles to avoid a tall long grass section that i don't like running on until winter to avoid ticks. ran about 2 miles on the road then finished up with 7.8 miles for 10.8. kept thinking about how i may want to not mess myself up running ultras this year, especially if the hawaii race isn't the weekend in march i thought it was going to be. i kept thinking how great it would be to try and break 1:20 in the half marathon instead and maybe 2:50 in the full. we'll see, it will be hard to train properly alone.
