4 Mile warm up. Went ahead with some 1 mile repeats @ 1/2 marathon to 10K+ pace (7:40 - 7:00) with active recoveries, then a long cool down into a 20 mph head wind. I felt like I was parachute running. My legs feel like toast. I did see quite a few FAT squirrels. Like FAT FAT. Like I debated catching one and eating it.

AM- 57 and WIND. 7.75 Recovery run. Legs sore, wind provided more resistance than was desired. 

PM- 65 and MORE WIND. Wind advisory 6.25. Mile 1 clear. Mile 2-3 slow rain. Mile 4-6 open the flood gates from above! Pelting, heavy rain. Honestly took my mind off the legs and I enjoyed it. Saw a huge raccoon leave his flooded storm drain, run across the street and into another storm drain. I did not investigate.

Wind brought in some cold. 36º with a WC of 30@ 13mph. Legs getting life back in them which is nice. Easy miles with 11x20s striders @3-5k pace. Some very short hill chargers as well. Working from home today which is nice and yet I get distracted too easily. Like by books. TV. Internet. FOOD. Procrastination pays off now.

New shoes- Kinvara 6's. What better way to break them in then a 20 miler weeks before a marathon? 

31º at the start and 47º at the end so I always feel a bit overdressed at the end with gloves stuffed in my pocket and such. 2 Mile warm up and then 16 miles @ BQMP or better. Best miles 7:31, 7:30, and the last fast one at 6:49 or GroundBeefish as I am told. 2 Mile cool down.  I had energy left at the end so I am taking that as a good sign. Overall good run, lots a people out towards then end, but some odd guy walking without a shirt and pants hanging too low. I could not get around him fast enough.
