10 miles this morning. 48 degrees and no rain until the very last mile or so. Supposed to be a pretty wet week. I miss running in the daylight.

Ran 8 more this evening in a driving rainstorm.

50 degrees, 30mph winds and pouring rain greeted me this morning on my 10 mile run. Just an average fall morning in the foothills of Seattle. Ugh.

Workout was a 4.5 mile tempo cutdown with the first mile at 5:24 and each mile thereafter 8 seconds faster ending at 5:00...then for good measure I was to tack on an 800m at 2:26. I hit all my mile times but let's just say the 800 meter thing didn't happen.

It's amazing to me how well one workout can go and how challenging the next one can be. Last week at this exact time i ran 2x2M at 5:01 each of the 4 miles. It was actually not that hard. Granted there was a 3:30 rest in between the two two-mile reps but then today I couldn't even do the 800m at the end. Well,. I could have but they wouldn't have been anywhere near the 2:26. 2:36 if I was lucky.

Ah...the mysteries of running.

Pretty cold today. 49 degrees and cloudy.

Coldest temperatures in six months. 33 degrees at 5:15am this morniing when I strolled outside. It was colder in parts as I saw some frozen windshields and frosty lawns. I cut the run a mile short to give me extra time to stretch afterward. At least the skies were mostyl clear and it wasn't snowing. Here comes winter.

A cool but clear 40 degrees this morning. Looks like a nice weekend ahead meaning sunny and maybe all the way up to 60 degrees.
