| | I have been running a bit more lately but without much to report so I have been skipping the logging part of the routine. However, knowing that there is a half marathon to be completed in March 2010 compels me to get back to more a more regimented schedule.
Yesterday, Teresa and I ran while Kristoffer was in one of his dance lessons so our course was the walkway through Elmer Thomas Park as well as the streets to/from the dance studio.

| | Teresa is finishing up returns for the Oct 15 tax filing deadline so I
had to run alone this evening. Again it was very damp with an
almost constant fog decorating our autumnal landscape. I tried to keep
the pace on the slow side of easy but let my mind wander a bit and
slowed down a bit too much while running through a new neighborhood. I
need to use some of the fancy features of my watch to keep my pace in
the desired range.

1.00 mi in 12:24 (picked up the pace to average out the last mile)
0.28 mi in 03:45 (cooling down)
Next run is slated for 5 sloooooow miles so I need to spend time finding new podcasts to fill the time.

| | The training schedule called for a 5 miler today so I was happy to see the sun arrive this morning. It was a gorgeous afternoon for a run so as everyone was driving home we headed to the park.
The schedule asked that we run 1 mile easy, 3 mi at 11:30, and another easy mile as a cool down. We couldn't quite make that but I am happy with the results.

GI distress required me to stop and walk a bit to avoid problems
1.00 mi in 12:54

So while I had to stop to let some stomach issues pass I am happy with the results. Thankfully tomorrow is an "off" day. Probably just 2-3 easy miles.

| | Since it was going to be 6 slow miles I loaded up Hawthorne's story, Feathertop, from the Classical Tales Podcast to accompany me. The gentleman that reads for the podcasts does an excellent job and it helps pass the time.

The SmartCoach training schedule from Runner's World listed today as a Rest/XT day so I turned into into an Easy Run day.

It was another sweaty run in Orlando this afternoon, accompanied my Mr. B.J. Harrison's reading of Lot 249 on Classic Tales Podcast. A good story if a bit dated from the days of its author's time.

| | 2.5 miles squeezed in between work and total darkness. Definitely not enough time to run a full 5 miles as I had scheduled.

| | I have stayed busy after returning home from Orlando and today was my first opportunity to run. Since my Garmin was not charged I don't have much in the way of specifics. 3.5 mi @ 12:51/mi
