Dead legs today!  Felt pretty dead for the first 3-4 miles and then was able to slowly pick up the pace over the remaining miles.  I guess that's why we have recovery days.  Temp was back above 80 today and will probably stay that way through the weekend, should make for an interesting and challenging long run on Saturday.

NICE recovery miles! Is that the LOW temp? Our highs are in the 80's, low's in the high 50's; very comfortable running weather. GOOD LUCK on your long run on Sat. 3 more weeks! YAY!

Good luck on your long run! I hope everything works out just right. Is Meg running 20 this weekend too?

Jeff, way to stay after it. Just think on Sat we will most likely both be miserable on our long runs. 3 more weeks, hang on Bro!

Smooth..that is the low :(

Kathie..I don't know for sure about Meg but if I had to guess she probably will try and go 20, she is a competitor and doesn't like to be bested by me or anyone.

Mike..Thanks you too! Ya it will be a little ugly on Saturday but that's pretty much par for the course.

Keep it going, Jeff.

I don't know about you but I'm beginning to wonder if fall is ever going to get here - send in the cooler temps!

From jeffc on Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 16:02:58 from 167.207.128.101

Fall will get here....for about a month....then it will be winter again.

Nice job Jeff!! Yep, 3 more weeks!!! Give Meg my best. Hope to see her at SGM.

Glad to see you getting in some quality miles. Sounds like we'll have similar weather for our long runs this weekend. Good luck!

I hope with all these hot weather runs. Don't mean that your training for a hot SG.:) Great job on your run bro. Looking strong.

MarcE...I will be ready to join you guys for the 3:15 group. Good luck on your long run this weekend.

Huans...I hope not too, but if it's hot, I'll be ready for sure.
