AM: Golf Course Loop via This is the Place. Great morning for a run. It's taking longer for it to get light out now, which I like. Well, I like it until January anyway. I'm looking forward to gearing up for St. George. Since I was planning on running NY until yesterday (which would have given me another month of training), I feel like I don't have a whole lot of time to prepare. But I think I'm pretty close to where I was at last year and with a few tweaks I hope I can run a little faster than last year. Beginning this week last year I ran four consecutive 80+ miles weeks before St. George and it's going to take that kind of work and more to perform well this year. That's not much compared to some of you maniacs, but it's plenty for me. I am beyond busy and it will be even tougher to get in the miles this year, but I'm going to give it a try. If it's just not coming together for some reason, I can go back to the NY plan, but I'm not going to think about that. I'm just going to try to stay focused on St. George for the next 37 days.
