Long sleeved shirt, gloves the whole way. It's only a one-day cold front, but Fall is nearly here. I had a hard time waking up and nearly just slept through this run, but I talked myself into it. I was half asleep the first mile, but after a ways my legs woke up and I got into a nice typical rhythm. I'm glad I got out. 45 degrees with 93% humidity and a 10 mph breeze. It wasn't cold, but chilly through the tech shirt. Glad I ran this morning. Not thrilled, but glad.

You are in the final stretch, Russ. Keep banging out the miles; don't worry too much about how fast, except maybe once a week. How far is your long run this week? At the end of the run, you should try to do some marathon pace miles when you are tired.

Good advice as always Kam. I expect nothing less but the best from my unofficial coach. My long run is 12 this week; 8 the next. I will do some MP miles at the end. I did that a bit on my 20 miler Saturday, but mainly because it was a steep downhill. But I'll count 'em as MP miles! How's your TOU mental prep coming? Ready for that 3:07?
