Give me a cool Fall day anytime for anything! I wavered on how far to go today, but ended up at the two-hour mark. Pushed the uphills at about 10K pace over a rolling hill course. Great start to the week. I'm hoping to get back to a fuller weekly schedule leading up to Thanksgiving. I've been doing some reading about how to cycle and schedule training. One article really seemed focused on the overall mileage over the course of the entire year leading up to a goal marathon. I also liked Jim2's idea of a Spring 10K/Fall marathon cycle. I think I might try that leading into my BQ attempt next year.

I could get used to this fall running thing. =) Nice cool evening for a tempo run. Finished six miles in 6:45 pace and felt fantastic. Right on the threshold. Running at tempo effort I beat my 10K PR. That was run in August with an enormous hill in the middle, though. I guess it makes sense that flat and cool is easier than hilly, hot and humid, but I hope that at least some of the good feelings are from overall training gains.

Six x .20 miles at half-marathon pace on six percent incline on the treadmill with quarter mile recovery intervals. Pretty sweaty, but the legs and lungs felt very good.

Nice and easy recovery form the hill workout yesterday. Felt very loose.
