Weekly Training: October 25 - 31 & a Record Month!

Graphic is from my page at dailymile.com.

October was an awesome month! WIth moderating temperatures, running has been great. It felt good to finish the month strong, with a 17 mile run, making October my highest mileage month ever. It just barely tops my previous best, 190.3, in April.  This 17 miler was also my longest run since my May 1 marathon.  Today's goal today was LSD pace, targeting around 10 min/miles. I tried to keep it easy early, and save a little for a quicker finish: 10:22, 9:59, 10:11, 9:57, 10:11, 10:04, 10:12, 10:04, 10:17, 9:56, 10:03, 9:54, 10:07, 9:45, 9:41, 9:28, 8:38. Perfect morning, 53 °F at 5 AM!   The full week's activities:
