AM: 6.25 miles in the early morning darkness with my team. Stayed mostly on the track and around the school to avoid traffic in the dark. Looking forward to next week when we will have some light on our AM runs.

PM: 6 miles split between the stairmaster and the treadmill. Some strength training after, lots of leg presses, because Jay Johnson (who hasn't blogged for a couple months!) says they are magic.

I like roasted, salted, pumpkin seeds.

Light on AM runs will be nice but I've already memorized every step of the horsepark in the dark. I hate losing the afternoon daylight, but it becomes a lot easier to fall asleep by 8:30 :-)

Pumpkin seeds are great, but I am VERY intrigued by wasabi pumpkin seeds. The pumpkin itself ain't bad if you can get beyond the thought that reminds you of scooping out pumpkin "guts" (as we used to call them). I do eat pepitas raw (somehow they are made not gross), which I thought would be weird but they make a good addition to homemade granola or veggie burgers.
