Spooky running - It's October!

Windy today, and I really do not enjoy running on a day like this. But there's a good chance it'll be raining all day tomorrow, so I ran anyway, just laps around the neighborhood park. Haven't done that recently; didn't recognize any of the other three runners doing the same route.

After a summer spent falling in love with his bike, my brother has decided to try to start running!! He's looked at some couch to 5k things, and he's planning on not exactly following them, but using those general priciples. I gave him some unsolicited advice-- get some good shoes. Even offered to take him over to the LRS. And that's the last of the unsolicited advice!

Had a crazy 3+ mile run today on the beach with some Hurricane Rina action...just the outer bands made it here, but we had seriously high tide, which made for soaked shoes and a lot of detours from our usual beach path, which was washed out or under water in place. My most fun detour was up a slanted coconut palm trunk waiting for waves washing under it to recede so I could jump off and run quickly to higher ground!

All the excitement certainly made the run go by quickly today!

Nice short 3 mile run today. Had to take it a little slower then usual becuase we had a heavy wet snow storm last night so there was quite a bit of downed tree limbs. Beautiful temps....in the mid 40s

I've successfully transitioned to running three days a week (9 miles). This week, due to meetings at work, ended up having to run two days in a row (I usually take one day off between runs). No problems with my ankle tendons.

This Sunday will be my first really cold weather run of the season (should be in the 30s). I'm going to start adding distance to my Sunday run - short term goal is to run 10 miles a week. That will be two 3 milers and one 4 miler a week.

Anyone else find it hard to get out the door and running when it's cold? Of course, scurrying around trying to find a hat and mittens doesn't help... Had to shorten today's run, it took so long to get started, so went 3.5 miles, the last mile uphill into the wind. Should have checked the weather channel before going, and planned the route accordingly. But it's a beautiful fall day now that the rain has ended...

Waited all day yesterday for the rain to clear, then took DS to my mom's house and went out from there. It's in the country, so it was beautiful. My original plan was to run for 6 miles, but I decided to go for 7. Got rained on miles 5-6, but I think it helped take my mind off the pain!

because I worked last weekend I left work early today. Came home and after napping (omg, I never nap! I guess I needed it after a couple hectic weeks) I decided I would head out for a two mile run. It wasn't the best feeling run but I am glad I did it. The weather is supposed to turn nasty tomorrow and I have to work this weekend too so most likely won't get a ride or run in. I can't wait until Thursday. That will be my first day off in about a month! All this work is getting in the way of my playtime.
