Similar run to yesterday w/Zitch/Skip. Opted to take Skip because I was concerned about leaving him at home alone. He did well. Ran off once and came back soon after. Heard him yelp and cry and started running to him then he flew by me.

Ran halfway up RR and down DD then to neighbors and down Turtle. Up PC, out FS to IP and up then ran PCT to the intersection and then turned around and ran back to TH. Finished with a climb up Turtle and down Homeplace.

Pace was pretty easy and weather was pretty nice. Still really wet and a few raindrops here and there. Getting a little more comfortable with the grip in the wet with Wings but definitely a downgrade.

Half run, half struggle w/ Skip. He was on leash to keep him from taking off. This was too long to be out on leash for him. He was too wound up halfway through and could not stay calm. This meant lots of walking and stopping.

Z was his normal self. The run was frustrating and not really enjoyable at all despite the perfect fall (cool and damp) weather.

Wore the Wings Pro for the first time. Have a pretty good feel. Pretty much what I expected. A little more support, protection, and weight than the Speedcross none of which is a problem. The problem is the grip isn't as good. The rubber lugs are much harder and are much more prone to sliding on wet surfaces. The stiffer sole may contribute to this some as well. Not as much a speed racing shoe. May do fine for AR though just have to be a little careful on slicker surfaces :-(

Run took a little over 2 hours but I only think I was running for 1.5 or so. Strongly considering leaving Skip at home tomorrow :-(

Ran up RR then down N Turtle to PCT to IP. Ran down and then to the trail crossing. Ran back PCT to HH and then down PC, shwacked up and ran back Hazelnut.

Outside of left ankle a bit sore. Might be related to massage.

Run on the east side of campus. Wandered Stadium woods and then did stadiums (220 steps, guessing 150' vertical)

Stadiums East 5 climbs
Doubles except top level of last 2
Run except top level of 3rd

Loop around Cyclocross course and then back.

Ride home, no pack

Arch was a bit sore this morning just walking around but not on the ride.

Commute in. Enjoying the beautiful fall weather we've been having.

Evening ride before dinner in town. Went up and down the mountain twice. Saw a lot of deer. Forgot I would need my clothes after ride so had to come back to the office to pick them up.

Took forever for the watch to get a satellite signal. Think this is related to the troubles I have been having with it. Picked up signal at the bottom of Happy Hollow.

Had some massage work done. Wanted him to look at my leg and see if he could make an assessment (2.5 years and still no solutions). He's got some ideas related to tibialis, fibularis, and soleus. We'll see what happens. Leg felt pretty good when I left.

Commute home. Light pack.

Short run on campus to stretch out the legs
