We are definitely into autumn around here! After the fridgid rain/snow (schmizzle, according to a friend of mine) 2 days ago, it was 55 sunny degrees with no wind today. So I went for a run outside.

I put on my new LOUD tights: baby blue background with a gold snakeskin pattern on them. Whew! ... and ran for 56 minutes, 5.9 miles. Lots of hills. I'm beat... but it was so nice to be outside.

A quick comment on long treadmill runs: Good running music is essential. I put 5 discs on shuffle and go. It's the only way I can stay sane.
