Surprise!

I take the week off after marathons now. It really helps me to recover.
So I was off from October 12 through the 17th. I know it wasn't a full week but I listen to my body and my  legs started to hurt from not running. Also I was getting a massage and I felt running was the right thing to do.
So here is what I have done since the 17th:
Oct 18  5.2   miles  at   43:43    7.1 mph    at a pace of 8:24.4/mi.
Oct 19  7.1   miles  at   58:08    7.3 mph    at a pace of 8:11.3/mi.
Oct 20 4.25 miles  at   32:21    7.9 mph  at a pace of 7:36.7/mi. 
Oct 21 8.1    miles  at 1:04:45   7.5 mph    at a pace of 7:59.6/mi.
Oct 22 4.4   miles  at   33:50    7.8 mph  at a pace of 7:41.4/mi.
Oct 23 6.1   miles  at   48:07    7.6 mph     at a pace of 7:53.3/mi.
Oct 24 OFF

Last weekend one of my cousins husband ran the RI Breakers marathon in 3:28. We may be in the same corral in Boston this year. THAT would be so cool!!!
My car died again yesterday; it may be over for my SL2. The best car I have ever had.
My son Keith is running in Raleigh NC on Nov 2. I think he can run the full but he may opt for the half. He should have FUN; that's what it is all about.
The long term forecast for Manchester city is for snow. I have never run a marathon in snow.
I'm not sure how to wear the "Maniac" shirt.
6 marathons in one year and I had some good times and GOOD TIMES!
I'll see Shannon for a tune up Saturday. Then I am camping with the Cub Scouts that night.
It is suppose to RAIN :-(
Hopefully, it won't effect my legs. It's going to be cold too.
