| I was overdue for a day off. 58 days on. Not my longest streak, but one of my most successful and consistent high mileage: 86, 93.5, 94.25, 93, 71 (Philly RnR), 89, 95+, 84.25. My legs felt heavy on my run with Megan and my long run yesterday. Today they were crappy (I blame my wedding gin and tonic PR). I expect to work things out this week, maybe staying in the 80s before 2 "huge" weeks leading into Indy. See what the body gives me, run hard on Nov 2, then go into maintenance mode for at least a few weeks before working on my Boston buildup.
I'm slowly working through the race reports. Crazy stuff. The quality of running is amazing out there, but the quality of the races of those coming off pretty major injuries (Fritz, Matt, Ben) are just insane. Lots of great times.

| AM: Firecracker loop - 10.5 miles, averaged 7:50
Taking Rob's suggestion here. Take a look at Wesley Hunt's 100 miler report here. It may get missed among all the other fantastic reports.
PM: North side - 6.5 miles, averaged 7:48. A couple strides. One school-to-school @ 4:38 pace. Beautiful fall weather today.

| AM: A Take-that!-last-Thursday-failed-workout! AEROBIC BUILDER. 13 miles, averaged 6:57 w/ 8-mile AT tempo in 51:12 (6:24 average): 6:29, 6:31, 6:27, 6:28, 6:25, 6:22, 6:16, 6:14. 3 up and 2 down.
More of a fast finish than a progression. I was working a bit, but that's okay. I was flinging fluids a bit (usually a sign I am not at all relaxed), so as long as the blog style police weren't in the bushes I think I'll be okay. Did a few loops on the .5 mile portion then headed out for the longer loop, but the road was closed, so I had to get creative.
PM: Rest Haven - 4 miles, averaged 8:13

| AM: Off. Had some academic work that needed to get done.
PM: Spring Vale Cemetery - 10.25 miles, averaged 8:19. Stopped by Tri-N-Run on the way home from to use my gift certificate to get new compression socks to replace the one I lost. Went with CEP recovery. My others were CEP run, and they were great. I think my legs are bigger (just over 16" up from maybe 15 or 15.25 when I bought my first pair).

| AM: 7 x 1 Mile @ LT: 5:55, 6:03, 6:00, 5:58, 5:58, 5:57, 5:55 (5:58 average). 2 Minute recovery jogs (8:15-9:30 pace). Warmed up 4 with a half mile at MP, a few quick stretches, and two pace strides. Had to navigate some work trucks, but we reached a silent understanding I think. I thought I would be much faster, closer to my calculated LT pace of 5:50, but I guess I am entering the territory where you can't just knock out mile repeats 10 seconds below HMP. I just couldn't get my legs to turn over. My breathing was quite good. No extension in my hips. I feel pretty good about the workout. 3.5 down. A little over 16 total. Going to hit the 3000 mile mark this afternoon.
Ran in my new flats. I really needed new shoes as you can tell :) They were my present to myself for my A++ goal at Philly and I had some credit at the local running store and some extra coin from an extra copy editing job I picked up. Some nice improvement over the MV2, but not quite as firm. The heel counter is much more flexible and the inside is even better sockless (as I prefer). The sole on the midfoot has more surface area, which makes it a better marathon shoe. Finally, my size 12 was 6.5 oz, and my former flats were 7.2 oz. Pretty decent when you can knock out 16 miles in a brand new, out of the box, pair of shoes sockless and not get any hot spots.
PM: Rest Haven Cemetery - 4.5 miles, averaged 8:27. "Jason what was the first thing you did when you hit the 3000-mile mark? Well, thought about how much a hate the people in this town. Then I had a banana and a very rare post-run beer."

Weather looks pretty good for the Chicago Marathon tomorrow.
PM: Spring Vale Cemetery - 7.25 miles, averaged 8:17
Just looked over my notes and I hit the 2000 mile mark last year on Oct. 18, so I am easily 1100 miles up over last year at the same time. I've improved a lot, but I've also run a lot more and especially this fall, done a lot more quality (15-18% or more, most weeks).
