October is in the books.

I intended to run 112 miles, I ran 114.53.  This brings the yearly total up to 897.3.

With the weather getting better, my pace fell to 9:07.  That has been nice.

The new GPS watch has been nice.  It did flake out on me once, but it only lost 0.08 miles of GPS points and did NOT lose the run.  I’m good with that!

Month Notes

I volunteered with the Queen Bee Half Marathon as a ham radio operator (I’m 3 for 3 there).  Fortunately the weather was great for running, so there were few drop reports.

I got to party with the Brew Hogs.  It was nice NOT missing it this year – last year I had to miss because of a cortisone shot that turned out to be extremely painful and extremely useless.

I had a Saturday meeting in Raleigh, and I flew in on Friday and went running.  Running there was interesting, as I had to run 11 miles in the sun.  It felt like uphill all ways. But I got the run in.

Planned for November

The Honor Run Half.  Goals:

A: 1:51 (~8:30 pace)
B: 1:55 (~8:47 pace)
C: <2:01 (current PR, 9:15 pace)
