I decided to do a trail run this morning, realizing I hadn’t done one in a while! It was a nice, quiet, peaceful out & back with a lot of deer roaming around the park. Back to the road on Sunday!

Half marathon #8 is in the books. I ended up with an unofficial time of 1:48:30 @ 8:16 pace. Not a PR and not close to my race plan goal, but we won’t go there – I’m staying positive.
I’ll post a full race report later this week.

Weekly mileage: 11/12-18/12:
OK, not the only way…not even my usual way…but it was the way today (or at least part of today.)
Training Journal – 11/6/12:
October was another great month of training – all road running and a return to Monday cycling [a spread of 77% road, 0% trail, and 23% bike.] October also continued my training program for the Honolulu Marathon in December – taking me through week 12 of the 18-week plan. I also did three races, squeezing in one while on a business trip to Orlando.
As far as new equipment, I bought another pair of Kinvara 3s (my 4th now), but they are being held in reserve and will probably enter the rotation in mid-November.
As I mentioned above, I did have to travel to Orlando, FL; but kept on schedule, doing 55 miles, including a near-marathon day!
Anyway, here are the stats for the month that was October 2012:
As usual, when I got up this morning for my run (0400!), I looked out the window. It’s part of the process…
What did I see: wet pavement, partly cloudy skies, and a light rain.
I weighed my options:
Of course, I went with option three – throwing on my trusty running rain jacket and my older pair of Kinvara 3s.
Sometimes Ya Just Gotta Go…
The best part was that by mile 2 of my planned 5, the skies cleared!
Booyah!
