They all can't be "easy" runs.

5 miles on Venetian Waterway Park x 2. Finished right before sunset. Wonderful lack of humidity and low dew point. At the end it was 66 deg., 67% hum., 54 d.p.

I committed to the Ragnar in early Decemeber. It will be a 4 man team. Which means I will have something like 30 trail miles over 6 runs in 2 days. I can do that, right?

Same deal as yesterday. 5 miles on Venetian Waterway Park x 2. Finished right before sunset. At the end it was 70 deg., 76% hum., 62 d.p.

2 on the trails. then 3.5 hoodroute. 

5 miles on Venetian Waterway Park. Finished right before sunset. I would have run more, but I ran out of daylight. 

Daylight savings is stupid, and must end.

5 miles on Venetian Waterway Park. In the morning. I paid the price for poor food choices the night before. 

16.25 miles. Hood route to Legacy Trail to Circus Bridge and back. With Camelbak. 73 deg., 68% hum., 64 d.p. Overcast with no visible sun for the entire run.

Longest run since 4/16/23. 94 miles until I reach the equator in logged miles goal. Why run this on a Thursday? Who knows? 

2 on the trails. then 3.5 hood route. Legs felt fine after a half mile. 

Then lost some time repairing Boy #2's car. Boy #1 is a welder, and has created a network of young blue collar guys. I totally didn't see this coming, but now I have go-to guys for auto repair, plumbing, HVAC, etc. I've lived here off and on since 1983, and in this house for 20 years. And it took my son to connect me with these experts. It's really great how these guys help each other out. 

9.9 mile run fail. I went out to do 12.9. I made it to the turn around point for a 10.2, knowing things did not feel right, and just kept going. At the turn around for 12.9, I realized I wasn't going to have a geat day running, so I chose an alternate, and shorter, run home. My left knee felt wonky throughout. Full sun. 83 deg., 72% hum. 70 d.p. did not help, either. That's okay. Tomorrow is another day. 

8 miles. Hood route to legacy trail over the SWOM bridge and back. 46 deg., 38% hum., 22 d.p. at the start of the run. That's right. The temperature dropped almost 40 degrees in 2 days. This got me to thinking - At what temperature could I say that I thought it was cold enough to put on gloves, and then I would no be mocked around here? I have no real experience running in the cold, or even cool weather. I'm sure most of you have numbers in mind that would require you to suit up differently.

Anyhow, there's supposed to be excellent surf for the next 2 days. I'm sure my brother is going to pressure my boys into going out. 

Happy Veteran's Day.
