Sun, Oct 27-Sat, Nov 2

Sun Oct 27: DNR - Beautiful out, but not feeling well. Didn’t do any running today.

Mon Oct 28: DNR - Resting to get rid of cold.

Tues Oct 29: PM. A 60 min run on the Mendota Lakeshore Path to Picnic Pt. Warm out—temp around 80°—but still have a lingering cold.

Wed Oct 30: AM. Ran about 5 miles with the pastry club over residential streets. It was dark and around 70°.

Thurs Oct 31: AM. A 78 min run with Jonah, Amos, and Ena over city and residential streets and paths. It was dark and in the upper 50s.

Fri Nov 1: AM. A 60 min run on the Capital City Trail and over trails in Olin Park. It was mostly sunny and around 40°.

Sat Nov 2: AM. In Appleton for the Houdini 10k - finished 4th in 33:42 (~5:26/mi). Had a good battle with another runner, he got the better of me but helped to pull me along to a PR. Great race effort! The weather was ideal—mostly sunny skies, not much wind and a temp in the low 40s.

Gettin' thirsty

Not a very good start to the week being sick and all. I took a couple days off from running and fortunately recovered in time for Saturday’s race- felt really good. Will take it fairly easy this coming week before the Madison 42.195k on November 10, 2024.
