Accidentally left my running shoes in the other room, but fortunately had my old shoes still on hand. Which is why, if you’re looking carefully, you will see the lack of an update to the “current shoes” total.

After a week away from the group, ran this morning with Steve and Ben. It’s unseasonably warm, to the point that I almost could have done it in short sleeves. Crazy.

One of those mornings where the hardest part of the run was trying to dress for it. It was cool but not frigid, but there was also wind. Layer? Sort-of layer? Heavy hat? Baseball cap? Help!

Cool Morning

A little warmer than Monday’s run, which was nice to shift back for a bit. I’m not entirely ready for layer upon layer upon layer; I need to ease into it a bit.

Normally I run two miles before meeting my group, then four or so miles with them, then one more by myself at the end. With a dentist appointment at 7:30am, though, I switched things up a bit and started ten minutes earlier and knocked out three by myself, then four with Ben. (It’s a little sad that this is probably the most exciting thing that happened all day.)

Perhaps just as important, it dropped down to 34 degrees and it was time to break out the hat, gloves, and running pants. Brrrrrrrrr. (Come February I will be wistful for 34 degrees.)
