I took advantage of Teren being home to get another longer run in.  I ran for an hour on the treadmill.  I made 8.34 miles, for around 7:15 per mile average.  Running is much easier on the treadmill than on the roads.  Hills are hard when you're lugging a big belly around.

I ran the 1300 W to Winchester loop today.  It was a perfect morning for running.  I felt great until the last mile.  Then the run started to feel a bit hard.  I love running in the fall!

My little boy starts kindergarten today!  It's a big day for Cole!

I was up early this morning, so I went to the health club.  My goal was to stay comfortable the whole run.  I was feeling great, and thought of going another mile, but my stomach started to act up, so I called it good at an hour of running.  8.13 miles total.  about 7:25 per mile pace.

 

PM:  I got another 2 miles in chasing high school kids around the cross country course at Murray Park.

Today was one of those days when "just get out the door" turns into a longer run than you had originally planned. 

I ran 1300 W to 7000 South, and then down to the river trail.  About three miles in, my blood sugar was already dropping, so I took a gu.  This route is 7.5 miles.  About the time I was about to leave the river trail, I ran into some of the East kids and Bill doing their run.  I can never resist having running partners, so I ran a 2 mile loop with them before I left the trail.  By the end of the run, I was really hungry.  But, it was nice getting a little longer run, and having some running company on a beautiful morning.
