11 miles around Sunriver, OR.  Very dark, very cold, and very icy roads.  Not ideal conditions but after how much crap I've eaten the past week (especially last night at the resort), I had to run.  Glad I did and my legs have finally come around to feeling better.

Back on the horse, so to speak.  Awesome weather this morning--can't beat fall in Oregon.  I ran to the HS and ran 1 mile around the track, then home.

AM: 10 miles in GP.

PM: 8 miles in Eugene.  I ran into Springfield, then back past Autzen and to Pure for some sushi for dinner.  Then I watched the election results.  The run was good.  The food was good.  The results were....

AM: 9 miles on Pre's Trail.  Crisp morning but I warmed up eventually.  Pre's Trail is soft.  Covered in fall leaves it feels even softer.  Love it.

PM: 6 miles from the hotel to the mall, looped around towards Sheldon HS and then to Cafe Yumm for dinner and then back to the hotel.

8 miles inside this morning.  I just wasn't prepared to run outside in the cold Eugene morning.  But that's ok because I was able to watch Top Gun while I ran.  Talk about a blast from the past.  Haven't seen that show in at least 20 years.  Side note--Tom Cruise is a horrible actor.

10 miles with my Dad in GP.  We ran west to the college and then looped around towards Schroeder Park and then home.  Great company, as always.  Very cold this morning.  First time I had to wear a long sleeve and beanie.  Not bad to make it to the 9th of November before needing to bundle up.

9 miles with my Dad around Fruitdale and back towards the hospital. I dropped him off and ran a couple more quickish (6:27, 5:28). Good week.

Took the week off. Slept in pretty much every day. Sleep felt good but now the work begins to get back in shape.

AM: 4 miles in GP. First run in a week. In a serious funk right now when it comes to running. Low motivation to say the least...

PM: 6 miles on the hotel treadmill in Eugene. It was pouring all day long (something like 3 inches in the past 24 hours) and I wasn't going to battle the elements.

I ran east into Fruitdale and looped around various streets before coming home. Then some hiking in Cathederal Hills with the family and then turkey, games, family and friends.

10 miles on a Black Friday tradition....running past all the stores and seeing how busy they are. Walmart was nothing like last night, but Fred Meyer and JCP was pretty full. Good times. Downtown, where all the mom and pop shops are, was a ghost town. Perhaps people are just waiting for small business Saturday.

12.5 miles to the east of town. I couldn't go until 10:30 or so due to kid duty while the wife went shopping. By then my time was limited because I needed to get back in time to watch the Cival War. Bummer the Beavers couldn't beat the Ducks... Why anyone likes Chip Kelly is beyond me.

5 miles exactly to Anderson Dental. Did a little work and then ran home, adding on an extra half mile for good measure. Hit 3000 miles for the year. I was on track for an all-time high in 2012 but the month of November kicked my trash.

I ran to Cathedral Hills and looped around for a few miles, then made it back home.  I need to get there more often!

 So much rain coming down outside that I have no desire to run.  Pathetic...
