Other than having to rather smelly bouts with skunk spray (it just about made me vomit) this run felt good and went quite well. Fall temps are definately in full force.

I did my test loop in 8:38.15 which is faster than last time by 8 seconds but slower than my fastest by 8 seconds. I really need to work on getting more sleep on Monday and Tuesday nights, 6 hours just isn't enough.

I tagged along with the Elite group of James, Jake, Andrea, Devra, Emily B, and May for their long run on the parkway.  I am working on my buildup to 72 miles per week by the end of the year and only had an easy 14 on the schedule for today.   I figured it would be more entertaining to at least run 7 mile with company at a nice pace than to go the full 14 alone (and the company was great - Jake and I chatted ourselves down to a 6:30 mile on accident for a bit).  After 7 miles out I turned it around and finished the remainder 7 on my own.  The weather was fantastic (Tech-T, arm sleeves and shorts) and everything is still feeling great.    On the way back I marked the last 5 mile markers for a guy at work that was planning hiking his boy scouts down the trail.
