Life happens, milage falls, but I do what I can.  Today was a hill run and Murdock trail back.  Perfect weather in the 50s.  4 miles took 34 minutes, or 8:30/mile.

Temperatures are dropping.  Mostly just tough guys left on the trail and I got passed by a lot of them today.  Good tor them.  At least they allowed me to share the trail with them and they didn't throw me into the river.  My GPS watch no longer lasts long enough for my long runs.  Today it lasted 7.66 miles and six of those miles were uphill into the wind.  Time was 1:06:16 or 8:39/mile  By the clock, the run took 1:45, which comes out to 8:45/mile, including two water breaks.  I'm trying hard to come up with excuses for being so slow, but it's not working.
