I felt like a blob today - my eating must have been horrible this weekend.  But my runs felt good and strong - I guess I really reloaded for the long week.  I want to hit 70 this week.  Next Saturday is a 10 mile race that I surprised myself with a sub 60 last year.  The result of that one will really tell me where I am this year compared to last year.  I guess I've hit that plateau where my easy time wins are over and each new PR will be harder and harder.

I am loving this cooler weather.  Highs were only in the mid 80s and my run  tonight was around 80.  The long slog through the summer months ARE going to pay off.  I know it.

Ran around the town after work - Chrys took the kids and spoiled them a little bit.  Thanks to her.  I felt crappy at the start but better after a few miles.

It is such a beautiful day today- 73 degrees, a nice breeze, and just some wispy clouds in the sky.  I got out for my long run at 7:15 and I felt really strong.  This route doesn't have too many steep inclines in it so it is more representative of the course for the half on Oct 30th.  I guess running on the hillier routes recently may be paying off.

enjoy your labor day weekend everyone!
