Weekend Things
>> Friday, October 18, 2013
I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to a quiet, uneventful weekend. We're not much into heavily loading Saturday and Sunday anyway, but I envision a lot of low-key meals and time in the backyard on the horizon. I love this time of year. Well, except that we have a literal ton of leaves ready for raking!
It makes for a beautiful chore.

I'm thinking of trying this plan, which is 12 weeks in all.
However, I will modify because I can't/don't want to run that many days/week!
Goal is 46:30 or 7:29/mile, pace predictor says 46:49 more likely.
