Blew off this weekend's run for no good reason at all.  Almost marine layer fog to begin another week of runs.  Temps in the mid-50s with a slight South breeze.  A very dependable 5.10 miles around the campus, per custom.  I generally do not like to use the word "fast" when describing my runs, but todays 9:03 minutes per mile pace is the fastest loop in quite some time.  (I posted a 8:57 per mile pace on June 13, 2013.)  The rest of the week looks like 6-5-6, to round out with 22 miles.  October has been a solid month of running: times trended downward, while frequency increased.  And, most importantly, other than a spastic face plant fall, injuries have been non-existent.  Sitting out July and August due to injury meant that ramping up too fast in September and October was a concern.  With two months of solid progress, I would like to incorporate a long run in to November's schedule. Winter looms...
