Kind of nasty out- 80 degrees + high humidity.  Decided to do basement TM- just as nasty!  Did 7-miles @ 6:48 pace before the TM got dangerously slippery.  Shut things down and may do the 2nd half tonight.

Anual Fall Festival at church today, so really not much time to run.  Missed a window in the morning, but got an evening run in on the basement TM- did 8 miles @ 6:48 pace.  Hope continue putting in steady number of miles at 6:50 and lower in these last 2 weeks begfore the marathon.  I'll do my last long run (14-16 miles) on Monday and continue to ease my way through the taper.
