some terrific weather...

...we've had so far this week! sunny, crisp, and dry. cold too, but i can live with that after so many years in Utah :).

the running's going well...i did end up missing the track workout last week due to the soon-to-be-revealed developments, but the long run on sunday was fun...i did the first 8 mile loop counter-clockwise this time for a change. i think the uphills are steeper this way, and the downhills more gradual. i gelled at 8 miles (i used to gel at 10, but then found myself running out of gas at 12 or so). i think this works better for the 13 mile distance. ran at what seems to be my new long-run pace - 8:30. the hope is to get it down to 8:00 by marathon day.

monday i ran from work, the usual easy 5 miler. great weather, but windy! ran pretty slow as a result, especially since i was heading into the wind on the latter part of the run - 8:20.

am debating whether i should do the treadmill hill workout today or the 10K/5K intervals...maybe i'll do the latter, and then do a hilly semi-long run tomorrow.
