28F.  Mostly easy with a 4-mile tempo block thrown in on the way home - 6:37, 6:27, 6:34, 6:19.

Average was 6:29 for the tempo, and 7:27 for the 15 mile total.

Have to mention this, on the way out I made my first-ever pit stop in a nice ditch (it was still good and dark).  Pretty efficient and tidy, I was pleased.

Sometimes I just read too far in a blog...I should just stop at the good part...that's all I have to say :-(

From Rye on Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 15:53:23 from 75.174.19.85

Joe seriously, your first.....with all the ibuprofen you take that should shake things up for you! Heck of a nice run!

From I Just Run on Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 16:14:05 from 67.79.11.242

I think you call it "Stop - Drop - and" ...well You get the idea :-)

From Steam8 on Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 17:30:34 from 166.70.55.77

WOW..nice run! Seriously...change your name! You are so dang fast!

Good thing it was still dark! I am always running when it is light and I don't ever get that luxury! ha!

IJR - sorry, this seems to be happening a lot lately. From now on, I will make the disturbing text a different color (brown) so you will know not to read any further.

Rye - Yeah I don't get it, I've been eating Whoppers every day.

S8 - I don't even think daylight would've stopped me this time. It was going to happen either way.

From JG on Wed, Nov 30, 2011 at 22:38:47 from 71.57.246.108

Wow ... takin it home with some smokin fast miles! Nice job ... guess you were feeling a little lighter on your feet!

From derhammer on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 11:58:57 from 192.156.110.33

Wow - sweet tempo at the end of an 11 mile run? Look out Houston.

From flatlander on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 13:23:22 from 64.129.54.210

Good job and nice tempo miles, those are hard to do after running that long.

From I Just Run on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 15:24:43 from 67.79.11.242

I agree with Flat's comments but I would add that they are "impossible" for me after running that long!

From SlowJoe on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 15:31:57 from 132.3.53.68

Thanks JG/DH/flat/IJR - it felt pretty tough, glad to be done w/ it. For whatever reason it doesn't seem to matter much when the tempos are done for me. In fact it would probably be harder with only 2 or 3 miles warmup.

From I Just Run on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 15:35:28 from 67.79.11.242

Between yourunning tempos' like this and Flat hammering out 20 milers every day I'm starting to feel really old and slow. I think I need to get off this blog :-(

From derhammer on Thu, Dec 01, 2011 at 15:48:03 from 192.156.110.33

Yeah, IJR, I agree. SJ is making my progressive runs look like child's play and Flat makes my mileage look weak. Maybe we should start our own blog. ;-)

Good gravy man!! I hope you buried it!
