AM - 3 mile shake-out in a light rain before church.  

AM - a little over 4 miles on the Milton Trail wiht Dan.  Temps in the low 40s for the first time this season - had to get the gloves and the long sleeve-shirt out finally.  

AM - just under 5.5 miles with Dan from my place on the trail to Dinsmore and through North Bluff.   Decent pace - foggy and chilly out. 

AM - 5.25 solo miles this morning as Dan's knees were bothering him and he decided to cross train.  I took it slow today - not feeling a desire to push at all. 

AM - tempo effort with Dan at Milton HS.  First mile was a warm up then the next 4 were  between 7:40 and 7:55 pace.  Temps were cool and the course is a flat 1 mile loop around the perimeter of the parking lots.  Felt fine at this pace - could have gone a bit faster, but Dan was on his limit. 

AM - 4.25 miles with Dan and his dog Rosie who I have not seen in months, but she saw me arrive at his house and begged to come outside to see me and we took her with us.  She's a sweet dog, but not really a runner - so our pace was pretty easy, but that was fine with both of us. 

AM - 8.25 miles with Dan and Greg today.   Darryl is running the Silver Comet marathon today so he was not with us and Ryan stayed out too late at a neighborhood Halloween party.   Good last long-ish run before next week's NYC marathon with the family.   Really decent pace and pretty low HR with comfortable temperatures.   After we finished Allan arrived - back from his summer in North Bay Canada - here for the winter.   He was hoping for some company for an 18 miler as he prepares for the Rocket City marathon in Huntsville.  The guys will connect with him last week to coordinate better than this week.
