Twenty-four laps dragged

Mon, 11/6-took off

Sun, 11/5-Made my way around town looking for possible running routes.

Went to park 1, ran for 13:00, or about 1.5M.
Went to park 2, ran for 5:00, or about .6M
Went to Sourland Mountain, ran for a total of 3:00, or .4M
Hopped onto the canal path and took it down 3.6M (28:25, or 7:54/mile pace) and back (25:35, or 7:07/mile pace) for 7.2M in 54:00

Sat, 11/4-Went to Hillsborough HS for Pick-up reps: 8x 400m @ 77 w/2:00 rest and #s 2,5,8 @ 69 instead of 8x 400m @ 70 w/90-sec Int and #s 2,5,8 @ 63.  I figured I'd add 10% to the target times of 70 and 63.

effort 1: 76
effort 2: 70
effort 3: 77
effort 4: 77
effort 5: 70
effort 6: 76
effort 7: 76
effort 8: 65

Solid!

Fri, 11/3-took off

Thurs, 11/2-Since I (read: my wife) was feeling a little uncomfortable running in the pitch black on the mountain, I took my legs to Hillsborough HS.  I was supposed to do 60 minutes steady, but I swapped out the plan for a little "up and down action."  I ran three miles around the track at 8:00 pace, a fourth mile in 6:25 (was supposed to be 10K pace, but was too slow), a fifth mile in 8:00, and a sixth mile in 5:55 (was supposed to be 5K pace, but was too slow).  Twenty-four laps dragged!
