Just checked out and ran 16 miles on west river to the waterfall. My favorite part was a place along the Winchell trail where just about every leaf in sight was yellow. That was fun to see. 6:10 pace on the way out, I made a mistake coming back and didn't get my pace overall. 

This morning I again did a little work before leaving, so I was able to avoid running in the dark all week long after Monday. 

6:47 pace, Como classic.

Forget what pace this was exactly but I think it was pretty quick, in the range of 6:37 to 6:43, east river road.

6:50 pace, east river flats. 

Ran in Falcon Heights / Roseville. It felt warmer than I had expected. Not going to bother getting pace. 

Enjoyable run on St A parkway.

6:02 pace, east river road. A little faster on the way back despite a headwind. One of those cold November days. 

6:46 pace, farmers fields. Not as cold as I had thought it would feel. 

6:50 pace, boom island. Meant to do west river north but I guess I was on autopilot. 

7:03 pace, Como classic. I got 2 vaccines yesterday and felt woozy this morning which is why I ran slower. 

7:04 pace, east river flats

6:43 pace, St A parkway. As usual, having a poor night of sleep is not associated with slower run speed the following day. 

6:13 pace, Resevoir woods to McCarrons lake. On the way back I ran 7 minutes of volume (3,3,2) for the first hard work in a month. Knee hurt which was quite frustrating. There are certain sensations you grow accustomed to feeling while running during different seasons. It was 50 degrees this morning and wasn't a sauna but sure felt like a spring run. Afterward I needed ice water, which is probably not something I'll want again after a run this year. 

6:48 pace, Como classic. It was a nice late fall day. Cold-ish and quiet but not too cold and no snow..yet

6:44 pace, east river road. Was maybe going to snow today but it didn't.

6:55 pace, west river road on a slightly foggy late fall morning. 

6:49 pace, west river north. It was another foggy fall morning, this time over 40 degrees. 

Farmers fields. Today was my oral prelims and I forgot to get my pace. 

Close to 6 flat pace, Gateway trail. Learned my lesson from last time and had a much smaller snack this morning. Today I just ran. Splits: 4:08, 6:18, 6:15, 5:58, 6:02, 6:00, 6:01, 6:02, 3:13, 9:20 (misssed a split), 6:05, 5:51, 5:54, 5:56, 5:57, 5:55, 3:42. 

6:51 pace, Como classic. There was weird fog this morning that looked like smoke. 

Just under 7 minute pace, east river flats. Super foggy morning. Felt tired. Knee hurt a bit. 

6:58 pace, Como ave to Como lake. I am very glad I ran outside. It was almost 30 degrees but the wind was nearly 20 mph, which made things interesting in light of the newly fallen snow. Still, it was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. 

6:55 pace, ran from our Air BnB towards Afton and the state park. A little icy at first. It was beautiful running through the forest and along the river as the sun rose. Over less than a mile, elevation rose about 275 feet. That is one of the biggest rises I've done in Minnesota. Happy thanksgiving. 

6:43 pace, north on St Croix trail, across the bridge, and into Wisconsin! I was able to sneak in one more state in my list of places run in in 2025. The list now included Oregon, California, British Columbia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Lousiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, DC, and Virginia. I think that is all. And I think Wisconsin has been on the list in at least 4 of the 5 years I have lived in Minnesota.

Only 6:20 pace today. The snow began to fall this morning. I'm glad I was able to get this in before it got too bad. I felt faster than that. West river road.
