Breaking new ground or the same old path Oct 15-21

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.

Dh did another speed run with me. It's been fun running together. He pushes me to go hard and fast for 1 mile, walk 2 blocks and repeat for 3 to 4 miles.

And got up early for a 5 mile run. I forgot how much I enjoy the early morning runs once I drag myself out of bed. Maybe I'll try to get back in the habit . . .

Yesterday I finished the week with a long 11 mile run out in the country up the canyon. It was so Pretty and perfect weather. Today I started the new week with a tempo run of 7 miles. I am tired! it took the first 3 miles to start feeling better.

Roadie I can not believe you can run 12 miles on the tread mill!!!! It would be pure misery for me. Wow!! I am impressed.
