AM: Chilly morning! I pulled out my capris for my run

Marathon weather should be perfect for the St. Georgers this weekend. I can't believe that last year at this time I was tapering. This year I have 9.5 weeks of training left.

5.05 easy morning miles. I'm really trying to learn to take my recovery runs slower. It's hard to undo almost 30 years of conditioning to run hard all the time. It freaks me out to run slowly, even though I understand the benefits.

It was foggy on the river trail this morning. Halloween is in the air. Nice and creepy! 7:36 average.

PM: I didn't have a sitter for very long so I decided to save my workout for tomorrow. So, one more easy run. I ran on the canal road. I usually don't run thete because it's usually too dark. It's such a pretty road. 6.4 miles. 7:05 average.

I'm going to get more than 70 miles this week.
