Dual runs posted this morning.  Both AM runs were uneventful five-mile maintenance loops through familiar environs.  Cool runnings this AM with temps in the mid-40s.  Gloves and long-sleeves.  No wind.  Not as many people out at 545 AM with the onset of cooler weather.  The reverse loop has now become standard fare: I know instinctively where the elevation changes are, where the low-hanging branches are poised to blind me and which angle to take stepping off a tricky curb.  Thinking about further altering the route, but staying within the general framework of a campus run.  Developing.  Will get four more runs before the close of the month.  Looking at 5-6 (Friday and Saturday) to finish this week.  Cooler temps on the way.  November will witness an uptick in frequency.  I am pondering a Mon-Wed-Thurs-Sat running schedule to help facilitate the transition to Higdon's training regime in late December.  Tuesdays and Fridays would be workout and cross training days, while Sunday would be a day of rest.
