Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.90	0.00	5.90

See how non-OCD I have become? I ran 5.9 miles and didn't even feel the need to run an extra .10 Saw Josse on the trail, had a little chat about blood sugar, dogs, and the Huntsville Marathon. I dragged the rest of my run thinking it was the power of suggestion (the chat about low blood sugar) had caused me to feel dizzy and dragging;but when I came back my blood sugar was in fact really low (55...oops). I have to remember to eat before I leave. I think it was because I ran two miles in the PM before bed, and then didn't eat breakfast. I hate having to strategize eating. It was the one thing I really hated about marathon training (what to eat, how to eat, when to eat/drink). I've felt so free of it, but the low blood sugar thing is a problem so I have to deal with it.

I love the non-OCD new you, enjoying the beauty of this Fall weather and running! Sorry about the stupid hypoglycemia.

So, when are we going to hook up with LeslieP for some trail wogging? Can't wait to wog on some crunchy carpet of red/pink/gold leaves!!! :)

I FB'd Leslie and she said she wouldn't be doing any trail running until after SGM; But excited we want to go to the mountains with her. Are you doing SGM? I'd love to come up and do an easy breezy short 4-6 mile taper/recovery run if you need a slow pace. I can come up for that anytime.

I want to come to the mountains and trail run!!! I have a BEAUTIFUL little 7 mile loop up here in Herriman right by my house I could take y'all on! Or, I will travel...I just want some beautiful trail runs while recovery is setting in!
