AM: 5 miles

then went on a 60+ mile bike ride.  Went with the cycling club and thought it was only gonna be 40 or so but they pounded me for 2.5hours in a pace line then dropped me still 16-18 miles from home.

PM: was gonna do another 5 but after hitting the wall in that bike ride i decided it wouldnt be of any benefit

AM: 5 Stupid roger williams park has this pumpkin festival every halloween in which they have something like 1000+ carved pumpkins.  That is all fine and good except that now they are all piled near part of my loop and are rotting.  I have to hold back the vomit every time i pass it.

PM: 5 felt very good.

am: 5 gettin' cold. 37 degrees. Still went with short sleeves and gloves tho and it was the right call.  I go for shorts until below 24F. gonna try running with the club today and hope they dont pound me too hard.  Prob cut off of the 8 group for 6 at hope st but we'll see if they are going a relatively easy pace i will do 8.

PM: 7 with the club.  We did the bike path so i could turn around wherever I wanted.  Low 7 pace which was not easy but not terrible either.  Not bad considering my weight.  I hardly want to say it here its so embarrasing... 174.  Not my max ever either.  Since Ive been fully grown Ive been as high as 180 and as low as 150 (both of which happened in the same year, damn 3rd year of medical school).  Goal is always 145 lol.  I think i would race great at that weight.  Gonna take a while and a lot of discipline.

AM: 6.25 went down to watch the downhill mile and did some cooldown and striders with ppl.  The club took 1 and 2 for male and 2 for female.  We could have easily taken 123 for male and female but some ppl are running xc tomorrow and others are running nyc tomorrow.  And Im just building mileage now.  Speaking of which.  Wow I am beat.  But thats what you get for going 0, 15, 75.

PM: 6.15 feeling good now lol, it swings back and forth. also p90x abs workout
