Cool damp morning but after a very slow start managed to get in a good run this morning. It's always painful to see a first mile at 8:00. It may have had something to do with eating WAY too much junk food this weekend. I felt very lethargic. Glad Halloween is behind us.

Seven more this evening.

A cool but rain-free run in the daylight at lunch which included a brief stop to get a Panera bagel and snarf the bread samples they always have laying out.

Late start to my workout this morning as I was tied up all day. Hit the track at 4:45 and it was getting dark quickly. Workout was 6x800m @ 2:25 w/ 1 minute rest between. There was a breeze but not as bad as Saturday's wind. Hit 2:26, 2:27; 2:26; 2:25; 2:26; 2:24. Quite happy with that. It was completely dark by the time I finished. Thankfully, the track is next to the football stadium which was lit up. The light spilled over just enough to see OK.

A nice, cool mostly dry run along Lake Sammamish. I managed to time my run to be between deluges. Man it can pour here.

13+ wonderful miles with no rain. It's been a deluge the last 24 hours or so but I ran between storms. Temperature was a whopping 60 degrees. Here it is November and I was running in a t-shirt, shorts and no gloves. Glorious

Ugly day. Ugly workout. 6x1000m @ 3:06 with 90 seconds rest. Wind was howling again but no rain..at least not during the workout. I stopped after 4 reps. I hit 3:05, 3:06, 3:07 and 3:08 in that order and felt crappy doing it. I just didn't have the other two in me today. I felt very heavy and bloated going in. I ate like a horse the night before and most of it --- i mean -- all of it was junk. Serves me right to have a bad workout.
