no ipods allowed (which bites) but they’ll pipe in music over the loudspeakers. regardless, i’m still running mostly six or seven mile efforts at an easy pace. even though the temperatures will fall a bit in the coming days, i’m aiming to get out for a longer run this weekend. looking at my mileage totals for the year, it’s pretty much guaranteed that i’ll end the year with the lowest amount of miles in a decade. oh well, there’s always next year…
MTD – 6 miles
YTD – 1305.3 miles
