Total Distance
4.00

I was tired yesterday after my double workouts on Monday so took a break Tuesday. This morning I intended to run 4 miles at the Y but my son reminded me that I needed to wait for him and take him to school, which meant I couldn't run in town. I quickly changed plans and ran while I waited. It meant less time, but I wanted the same distance, so I increased speed. That was fun. No watch or headphones, i just ran. No idea of time but I would guess that it was in the 10K-1/2 pace. I've lost a lot of fitness in my legs but thankfully it's not all gone. Time to bring some of it back.

It was a little chilly this morning. 39F with no breeze. Long sleeve tech shirt with cotton gloves and a thin hat, shorts, and calf compression sleeves. Felt a little chilly at the beginning, but great at the end. Hands were cold but I didn't know it until I took my gloves off. Love this weather.

I would call this weather full on WINTER...! Not Fall. :-)

Fall = night time temps in the 30s

Winter = day time temps in the 20s and 30s

Spring = same as fall

Summer = hot

winter = sometimes daytime temps in the 0s and 10s.

winter = scraping mounds of snow off the car while crying.

winter = frozen tears.
