Inspiring quote for today:
Take care of yourself. Eat well, rest, train hard and smart, make time to think and breathe. Be intentional with your time.

And lastly:
Any difficult goals you're stretching for this season? How do you deal with the fall/winter blahs and bad weather if you're Northern Hemisphere and the transition to summer race readiness for those of you in the South?

Heh, actually I felt worse at the end of the race Saturday than at the other one in June, but probably felt better for more of the course. And yeah, I can see some excuses - more hills on this one, not as many people cheering, not as much sleep the night before.

And yes, I was looking at that interval plan and thinking I should give it a try. The weather's getting colder where I am and pretty soon I'll be doing most of my running indoors, so I think it'll be easier to keep track of distance and speed over the next few months than it has been over the summer when I running in a lot of different places outside and mostly measuring by time. I don't think I want to do a Thanksgiving Day race but maybe something in December or January, or maybe I will just wait on that for a while. Thank you for the ideas. :)
