10.10 - 0
10.11 - 26.0, from warwoman dell to rabun bald and back on the bartram trail. started a little unsure, but got in the swing. great trail and sublime views from rabun bald. great day. last hour and a half were in the dark, twisted ankle a couple times so took it easy the last few miles.
10.12 - 4.5, around lake
10.13 - 12.5, 4.5 lake loop early, then 8.0 twice lake loop later.
10.14 - 17.0, very solid run on the hilly hickory point loop. slightly injured the ball of my right foot a couple miles from the end, but it seems to have healed by saturday.
10.15 - 0 unmotivated. bicycled around the lake for a bit on the new tires.
10.16 - 12.0, unmotivated, probably just tired, but the 12 was easy.
week: 72 miles.
super enthusiastic and joyful early in the week. the mountain runs were getting me all excited. came down a bit friday/saturday. must just be feeling the cumulative fatigue. it's all good though, because the legs are still responding fine when i head out. another week and a half of pushing it, and then i'll ease up. great running.

9.19 - 12.0, black snake over to jason's to watch some football. hot.
9.20 - 9.2, black snake loop, really fast last couple miles....felt like fitness is starting to return. happy run.
9.21 - 9.2, black snake loop, again solid running. the cool weather is invigorating.
9.22 - 0, bought a new machine and got busy.
9.23 - 4.5, lake loop evening, still busy moving machinery.
9.24 - 10.0, out and back from franklin, NC on bartram trail. beautiful, but the 9million spiderwebs put a damper on things.
9.25 - 20.0, bushwack from louis land to the AT, down to NOC, up to the jump up on the AT, back to NOC. then shuttled w/tim and lydia to tellico gap and ran over wesser bald down to NOC again! great running on nice trails. weather was cool and wet in the afternoon. just fun.
views from wesser bald were really nice after the rain.
week: 64.9
the machinery moving really took a chunk out of the week, but this is a turning point. with the good base starting to kick in, and the weather turning, there were alot of happy miles this week.
actually able to run alot of the uphill trail miles too, which is a great change from the summer of feeling weak and tired when running. encouraging! next week just needs to maintain the solid jogging, and then pace 50mi at grindstone.

another solid week. bad mental math told me i already had 60 miles on saturday, so i didn't run, and instead helped dad on the trees again. oh well, it was a good workout too, and the help was appreciated. still very slow, but twice during the week my last few miles were fast....a sign that speed will return sooner than later???
this coming week i hope to pop the mileage up.

9.6 - 4.5, lake loop
9.7 - 12.5, lake loop in morning, double lake loop evening
9.8 - 4.5, lake loop
9.9 - 17.0, black snake road in morning, hard 5+ w/byron at furman. 36:23
9.10 - 10.0, cochran shoals loop
9.11 - 9.2, black snake road in evening
week: 57.7
solid, the fast run with byron was an eye opener. 36 minutes HURT.
the weight will come off if i'm consistent.
each week needs:
a hard run or speed work day.
at least 2 doubles.
a day off.
a long run.
happy that i was able to run nearly 60 miles and it felt sustainable.
