October 27th

11.5 miles at Arastradero

Rather than doing the usual loop, Welsh showed me a neat little peripheral trail in the Foothills section of the preserve. With the leaves covering most of the narrow footpath, it reminded me a lot of some New Hampshire runs like Boston Lot or Montshire.

The hills were tough and my legs are pretty dead, but I'll see how I feel tomorrow. Wasn't quite as long a run as I wanted to get in this week but was too drained to add on.

October 26th

8 miles at Baylands

The usual out-and-back at Baylands. Felt much better tonight. My sleeping has still been all messed up lately, and the more I stress out about it, the worse it gets.

October 25th

7 miles at Moffet/Evelyn Creek

Ugh. Felt really sluggish today after getting hammered on yesterday and after having had 4 consecutive terrible nights of sleep. I don't know what's wrong with me.

October 24th

10 miles at Shoreline/Baylands

This run was a perfect example of why I dislike running with most of the guys at work besides Crosby and Eddie. Ran 3 by myself and then met up with a few of the guys from work. Some clown decided he would try and drop everyone and we ran the next 4 miles at sub 6:00 pace. Then he turns off and leaves while the rest of us added on. Classy.

The late night of eating fried food probably didn't help. Also, my insomnia seems to have resurfaced. I've woken up at 3am the past three nights. Woof.

October 22nd

7 miles at Shoreline/Moffet

This run is actually called "Ghost Town". I'm not quite sure why. Ran with Crosby and two other guys from work. The guys at work run at quite a bit faster pace than I like my runs (~6:20 pace) and it didn't help that I had a few beers immediately before running. Still, felt pretty good and nice to have company for a change.

October 21st

9 miles at Arastradero

Ran the first 6 with Welsh and then added on another 3 to bring me to 50 miles in 6 runs for the week. Pleasantly warm out for a late October morning and nice to get back on the trails for a change. I think the plan at this point is to work up to 60 in 7 runs through November and eventually add in a tempo run or fartlek once a week. Need to work in a longer run of 12-13 next week.

8 miles at Baylands

Easy run with Jeanne before work. Left shin has been bugging me lately. Really need to ice it this weekend.
