Philippians 4:13

5M easy before church just to loosen the legs up a bit.  Felt really good after yesterday.

Total time: 37:45  (Stratos 2 - 66 miles)

Took the family to the East Idaho State Fair and walk around all afternoon...the last couple hours in the rain running from building to building.

15.25M easy early on a very cold and windy morning.  40 degrees and good winds made me dress for the first time in warmer clothes (gloves, long sleeves, vest) and I was still cold.  Did 7M by myself the met Lynette and Andrea for the last 8.25M.  We zipzagged through the numbered streets to take advantage of the trees to block the wind.  Had a good run at about a 8:00 pace and lots of good conversation.

Stratos 2- 81 miles    Total time: 1:56:40 

6M easy early this morning down the standard Sunnyside route on a cool morning once again (40 degrees)...fall is here in Idaho.  Nice run, nothing special to report.

Total time: 45:30ish  (Stratos 2 - 87 miles)

6.25M at lunchtime on beautiful day...60 degrees and no wind.  1M easy (6:30) then the rest at MP (5:59-6:17) which felt really good.  Officially withdrew from Salmon marathon as I didn't want to risk any injury/muscle issues from running on 21M of rocky/gravel/washboard roads.  I am planning on a hard 20+M with Pat B (sub 7:00 pace). on that Friday before the Salmon race instead.

Total time: 38:45  (Stratos 1 - 89 miles)

4.5M very slow miles really early this morning. Nothing good to report about this run as I just could not get going, didn't really wake up and had to get back as the insides were turning once again by the end of the run.  Got'er done is about all I can say about that (Larry the Cable guy meets Forrest Gump...what a visual).

Stratos 2 - 92 miles

A quick run in between meetings at lunch today.  4M at fast MP (5:52 avg.) on a beautiful day!  Nice run, pace felt comfortable hard but maintainable for longer (I just didn't have the time).  Good hard run!

Stratos 1 - 93 miles  total time: 23:28

7M early on a pretty nice morning.  Standard morning run on standard route, nothing special to report. 

Stratos 2 - 99 miles

6M on a nice running day but a crappy run, literally.  3 bathroom stops made this not a very fun run.  First 2.5M with Jeff Fogg, then the rest I tried to speed up then nature started calling.

Stratos 1 - 99 miles

Standard early morning run this morning, 7.5M in chilly weather (40 degrees) so I wore long sleeves, gloves and a light vest.  Overall a decent early run at around a 7:45ish pace.  Will try to get 7-8M at lunch today pending no stomach issues today!

Stratos 2 - 106 miles

10.15M on a beautiful day at lunch.  Nice and easy conversational paced run (7:07) with my buddy Pat, where talked all kinds of things from business travel to collegiate runners.  Overall a really nice run, except my intestinal issues were gurgling from mile 4 on, never enough to stop but enough to feel it.  I wonder if my bowl of cereal every morning and the milk associated with it is now not agreeing with me?

Stratos 1 - 109 miles

A nice run this morning with the IF running group (Andrea, Lynette, McKay, Jeff F).  3M faster warmup to the park, then 14M with the group at about a 7:55 avg.  Overall a nice run from the park through Snake River Landing.  At 5M we stopped at a restroom and Jeff indicated he was going to finish his run a bit slower.  Got back to the park for a quick food break, then ran back to the park.  I peeled off just before the park to head home and finished off the last 1.5M of my run solo.  A great morning for a run!

Total time: 2:10:XX    Stratos 2 - 124 miles
