Winning Back What I Lost

915PM:  Slow and easy run on a cool fall night.  No more racing planned for the rest of the year.  I thought I might do Zeitgeist Half Marathon in November but I'll be returning from Florida late the evening prior so I decided not to push things.  So the winter will consist of keeping my base intact and trying to avoid the weight gain I've experienced the last couple of winters.  The latter will be key to any success I might have in my spring marathon, Eugene or Boise. 

915PM:  Short, easy run with Martin.  He's eager to start training now that the football season is over for him.  He thinks he might want to try Robie Creek in the spring.  Just based on his body type, I think he could be a much better runner than a football player.  

6:15AM: Met up w/ Court for a morning run.  Kept it at a conversational pace.  Good to catch up w/ him on his running exploits/goals and talk a little BYU football.

640AM:  Looks like fall is here to stay finally.  Still trying to find an outfit that will keep me warm but not too warm.  Took me a few miles to wake up this morning.  My entire body feels sore but I'm not sure why.  I haven't had a hard workout this week.  Gonna try to get a massage today or tomorrow and see if that helps. 

630AM: Short progressive run.  Started slow and ran the last 1.5 miles at marathon pace.  A bit warmer again this morning.  Looks like it will cool down again next week though.  Planning a longish run tomorrow. 

3PM:  Snuck in a longish run in between rain showers.  Weather was actually pretty pleasant w/ temps in the mid 50's and sun off and on.  Legs felt better after yesterday's massage.  That's pretty surprising given the pain that mean woman put me through on the massage table.  Who needs waterboading when there's deep tissue massage?!?  Holy crap was that painful- but it works.
