Easy five on 11th-Shore, on the taper now. A little slower than usual. No lingering problems or fatigue from Saturday, my legs have bounced back fine. 38:44.

A few easy miles on the treadmill at the Y. The running is easy, it's the being inside and boredom that I now need to train for. Going there helped me get up in the dark today though. Taper, taper, taper. 36:00.

Back outside today, I left for the Y but it was warm so I changed my mind. I did some of the 11th-Shore route, ran for 31 minutes, which is a little shy of the usual.

Another taper day, but down in Port Orchard. Just 8 miles on the regular weekend route, Mike met me and we ran to mile four and back. Not too fast, but three miles under 7/min. once we got talking. Didn't feel like pushing, so I won't worry. Certainly is easier to wake up early when you know the run is in the single-digits. Also helps when it's 45 degrees in October at 6 a.m. Nice run, about a week to go before the marathon now. Everything feels good, a few more easy runs and I'll be ready to roll. No watch today, but it was a little less than an hour total.
