Run run run week of October 4th through October 11th

Howdy. With the crud weather I have been uninspired, but I was inspired to try a trail run so did today on a rucky rutted road - 2.8 miles and I was slow but had a blast. Ran in the VFFs. No ankle issues. How's everyone else doing?

Crud weather is right! Tomorrow is supposed to be even ickier but I plan on getting a good hard trail run in anyway--I need one bigtime. This job search is stressing me out beyond belief...it's been one giant demonstration of Murphy's law lately. (Who is this Murphy anyway? I'd like to punch him right now!) I'm about to send a resume for a job in a part of the country that I really didn't even want to consider (a place that sounds like it would be way too hot for me) but that supposedly would consider a new grad interested in cardiology which I am. Still hoping something works out in the Northeast but that may or may not happen. Didn't mean for this post to turn into a vent but that just goes to show how much I need to exhaust myself running tomorrow!

We are having nice weather.

I did another 3 mile run last night after work. It was cool and breezy and I really enjoyed myself. I ran the first half at basically race pace because I feared I would run out of daylight but as I realized I was fine, backed off quite a bit. I have no idea how long this lovely weather will stick around, but I am making sure I appreciate it while it's here!

We get both. The morning started off crummy (so my friend and I blew off riding and I had to run instead), and by the time I was back from my run, now it's sunny.

Three minutes @10K pace/three minutes easy jog x 5, plus WU/CD.

Eleven days to race day. I don't feel ready.

Jolt - I feel for ya on the job search. Good luck and don't settle.

Oak - you will be ready. Don't forget that your body also needs relaxin' so easy peasy days are good, right?

Me: I wimped on my lunch run because it was pouring. Instead did six sets of 109 stairs in my building.

Jolt! Sound like you should go jump over more stuff Hot is not too bad! Mean the winters are better

Oak! I feel like it is impossible to really feel ready until you are out there! You will be great!

I had a good/hilly 8 miler tonight. Decided that I can't ignore hills between now and IM St. George. Must seek them out whenever possible!
