Early AM: Ran with Kim for just over 3 miles then 3 more solo. Clear, crisp morning to start out November. Pretty nice actually as the wind was pretty mellow.

8:33/148

Late AM: Ran 4 more miles, 2 on the roads and 2 BFOG. Beautiful sunny day and warm enough to go in short sleeves. Wouldn't mind a bit if it stayed this way for a good long while but I suppose the skiers wouldn't appreciate it.

Tom, cherish these running days before we move on to cold, wet, ice, etc. I have notice you are doing 2 a days often, how are you holding up with those kind of days.

Stay Kool, B of bS Rools out

Thanks guys.

Brent I've noticed the 2 a days seem to be alot kinder to my legs and I can run more/faster miles with less soreness and fatigue. I'm sure it also helps that I haven't really been doing anything faster than MP and very sparingly at that. I want to try going a while with mostly just base easy miles before adding faster stuff and see if that will get me to the start line of UVM feeling strong, durable and fast enough for a PR.
