59F, rainy, windy.  15 @ 7:44 AP.  My first sub-60 degree run this fall.  Roads were slippery, and I could feel the loss of efficiency from the layoff but otherwise felt ok.  

So this gives me a 24-mile week, which is not a great follow up to the 31-mile week before that.  Need to start cramming.  I almost attempted the super-long run today, but it was a good move to wait, based on how I felt about 10 miles in today.  I might try it mid-week - just block out the calendar one morning and hope for the best...or might cut it back to 25-28 and just do it next weekend.  Hopefully work will allow a few decent running weeks.
