How many miles did you run today?

That is some visible stripping....did you happen to buy it online?

This morning, in the dark, 5 miles. Saw a rabbit, a deer, a cat, and a group of runners. Not sure which startled me the most!
Man! This reflective stripping stuff really works!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Agreed. I have some striping that doesn't seem nearly as visible as that. Where is that from?

The reflective striping is on the "Ultimate Visibility Top" which is made by Sport Hill. http://www.sporthill.com/products2011.php?ProductGroup=1520

I purchased my top from LL Bean which carries their products. Besides being a great garment for running in dark conditions, it is a great wind blocker, also--as advertised. Very comfortable to wear. The inside has a thin, reverse fleece.

Damn! I was looking at those yesterday and almost bought one but changed my mind and decided not to and yesterday was the last day of their 20% off of their high visibility outdoor gear.

I used my LL Bean points and purchased a new headlamp: NO MORE SPILLS ON THE HARD SIDEWALK WHEN RUNNING IN THE DARK

3.5 "miles" on the elliptical this morning. I'm going to stick to the machine for the rest of the week.

4.8 miles this morning. I wanted to get in about 2 more but I got a late start because my daughter woke up coughing about 5:00 a.m. and I wanted to wait until I knew she was back to sleep before I left. It was my first run since the marathon and my legs felt terrific. I wanted to run yesterday morning but my flight got in so late on Monday that I decided to just sleep in as late as I could instead.

0 miles today. Taking 2 full weeks off from running to let the legs recover. Its been a long year of racing and training and they need a break. Will get back into it around Vets Day and then ease back into things. Just over 1600 miles for the year so far as of end of Oct. and been racing / training for almost 1 year straight.

Was it you that is running NYC marathon? A few days off at the end of the training cycle before the race will not hurt you at all to rest an injury or illness. I took an extra day for the marathon and 2 extra days for the ultra during the taper periods and saw no ill effects. McMillian's quote is pretty good. "Being the fittest spectator at the race sucks". Get healthy.

That's a big year! Yes, I'm running NYC on Sunday. Not planning to run. Running, dammit.

1.5 miles this morning

Got in 6 miles last night. It is two loops on my neighborhood roads. Decided to throw in some intervals after reading about them yesterday and the positive effects. Since this was my first set I did 4x1 min each lap. So 1 min ON, 1 min OFF. Felt good! The only issue was that all my intervals started on the uphills.

As I work in longer intervals I will have to adjust my run logistics to stay away from the busier street that I usually have to stop at. I will work my way up to 5x4min and 4x12min just need to figure out if you do 12 on 12 off or less rest is taken. My only history with speedier runs were fartleks where I would just do 30-45sec bursts every 5 min.

3 miles earlier to go pick up a candle for the Jack-O-Lantern at RiteAid...

Didn't get a run in yesterday because it was super windy and looked like it could turn into a miserable rainy run.
