This is another relatively brief report, with a few comments sprinkled throughout.

8 September:  4 miles, 38:17, 9:34.2/mile … I should have been doing speed work that day, but that’s off my schedule.  After this run, I did spend 40 minutes on the recumbent bicycle at the WMU Student Recreation Centre.

9 September:  8 miles, 1:21:41, 10:12.6/mile … This was the shortest Wednesday run I’ve enjoyed for a while.  Sadly, I had ongoing difficulties with my left shoe.

10 September:  5 miles, 47:38, 9:31.6/mile … I cheated on my “regular” Thursday running group, instead spending quality time with some friends I hadn’t seen in a while.

12 September:  15 miles, 2:30:47, 10:03.1/mile … This was a really bad run.  My legs simply crashed out around the 13-mile mark.  I don’t know if I didn’t eat well during the week or what, but I was totally dead at 13.  On top of that, I rolled my left foot around the 14-mile mark.  I hope I never have another run that bad.  It was a total failure.
