Holy Hot Weather Batman! And no, I'm not joking. The crazy warm before the (very cold) storm. Ran at lunchtime today and it was 72 degrees with 20 mph gusts. On the way back the wind was at my back so I ran shirtless and still had to stop and get my HR to go down as I felt so warm. Crazy stuff. Did a couple pickups to 6:30 pace which didn't help but they did feel good. Mostly ran at 8:00 pace, my marathon pace. As others have said a while after a marathon, I can't believe I held that pace for that long. Nice run, now winter begins.

72 is usually a cool morning here in Texas :-)

72 on the 6th of October is a crazy anomaly. To happen a month later than that is just plain weird. No complaints but I have gotten used to that comfortable 30-50 degree range which is so sweet for running.

I've got to agree. Day after day of 72+ really wears you down :-(

Good run before the crazy weather starts...did you get a treadmill, Russ?

From Russ on Wed, Nov 07, 2012 at 14:37:21 from 74.114.3.253

We're borrowing a treadmill right now. Some friends sold their house and we're keeping it for them until they build near us. We'll be buying one when we give it back. I'm glad to have the option to run inside this winter, although I like to run in the morning and not sure my 13 yr old will approve of the noise 5 feet from his head. Guess he'll have to go to bed sooner.
