Both yesterday and today I tried to run 4 fast miles (ok, one vpb on mile 3). The whole run averaged 8:47, but I ran 4 averaging 8:36's.  I still have to fight from stopping or slowing down.  My stamina is still rebuilding. I keep telling myself, it's ok not to be back 100%.   I need to peak a month from now, not today.  I think I'll start some speed training on the treadmill to see if I can get some better consistancy.  I have no idea really how SGM will go for me at this point.  I'll just keep on keeping on (BQT or no BQT). The good news is, what is better than 63 degrees, sparkeling blue sky,and fields of Black Eyed Susan's?  Man, I wish it could stay like this forever. I love Autumn.  It's my favorite season.

I love it too, except...it means that winter is coming. I wish we could make spring and Fall last a bit longer :)
