Temp 47 (WC 44) Wind 7 mph.

Sixty minutes at Easy Effort. Restless night, but still managed 8 1/2 hours of sack time. Woke up stiff...gone before I got to the end of the block. It was on early. 1st mile 8:43. Wanted to run some in the park, but trails still wet and muddy in spots. Officials also setting up for HS Districts / Sectionals CC meet. Do a quick lap and head towards high school. Next Garmin check @ 3 mile alert and I'm at 8:17 pace. Need to save some of this juice for tomorrow's Long Run. Attempt to back down, but everything is pretty much set for the day. Running tall, compact, and fluid. Moving the way I was built to move with little effort. Didn't notice hint of fatigue until after 55 minutes, and I think that was mental. Not felt this natural to run in a long, long time. October is second 200+ mile month.

Home and have a GU, some water, and then its downstairs for some stretching, two sets of hip flexors, and three super-sets of plyo. Keeping the strenght up...got to run a really fast mile on 11/28.

Blues tickets for tonight. Me & the wife a little disappointed that Oshie is out, but will be fun to get our first in-person look at this year's crew.
