9 easy miles on the TM- raining out with strong winds.  Could have braved the rain, but didn't want to deal with falling branches.

Ran 6.2 miles with my wife through the pouring rain and then added an extra 5 on my own.  Trying to keep the 70mile weeks going before picking it up a tad for October. It's been difficult with weather, travel, and several deaths within our congregation.  Ultimately, it's first things first and I feel fortunate to have running as a secondary outlet.

Ran with Ed this morning and pulled off a 20-miler.  We started slowly (first couple miles at 8:30 pace) and gradually picked up the pace.  Miles 18 and 19 were our fastest 2 (7:15, 6:55).  Overall did it in 2:37:55 (7:54 pace).  Hopefully, our long runs will get easier over the next month.
