Nice afternoon with temp around 70.  Had a busy day yesterday so didn't get a run in and had some time today so got in a few miles.  Just easy running and felt pretty good.

It was raining this morning so waited and ran after work.  Nice day cloudy with temp around 65.  Felt good and ran easy by feel.  Ended up with a pretty good month for Sept now need to build on that and get back to normal mileage.

Nice fall day.  Temp in mid 60's with some wind.  I felt kind of sluggish today but still planned to do a 4 mile tempo at 7:00 pace.  After a 3 mile warmup I was still not feeling very strong but started the tempo anyway.  The first mile felt like I had to push to get it on pace but settled into the pace.  Second mile was not bad but was running back into the wind so felt harder than it should.  Third mile I was having to push to stay on pace and toward the end of the 3rd mile I was pushing too hard for tempo pace so just shut it down and jogged in.  Ran the 3 miles in 6:58, 6:59 and 6:58. Glad to get in 3 miles but just one of those days.  Will try it again next week.

Nice fall morning.  Temp in mid 50's no wind.  Just did an easy recovery run this morning.  Didn't wear a watch and just ran an easy pace and enjoyed the nice morning.

Cool morning around 40 with wind.  Started off easy and got warmed up quickly.  Ran easy for 5 miles then did a progressive finish the last three in 7:35, 7:01, 6:24.  Last mile felt good and was nice to push it some.
