10-mile progessive tempo in 65:51 (6:35 avg)

3 up/3 down

Felt better today, so I did a workout even though it was likely imprudent. I ran by effort and the first mile was 7:00, so I just relaxed and eased into it. No sense forcing things. I seem to be able to sense to 1-hour tempo mark pretty well as my breathing starts to get pretty shaky when I try to crank down the pace in the last mile and just a bit before.

PM: 10 miles nice and easy.

Run felt increasingly better as I moved along, so I continued for a little stress relief despite running fairly hard yesterday. Very crisp fall air. I am not seeing much of the crazy wind that I used to see in Indiana, which is fine with me.

PM: 12 miles. Did some strides. Pretty decent run.

Geese everywhere. Only some minor word choices and finger gestures. If they are there in the spring I am not sure I can handle them with their babies. Beautiful, dumb birds.

New pair of shoes for a steal. Felt good.

Long day, late night. Not so bad, but I need some rest and an evening of relaxation.
