A clydesdale no more!

Just plugging along.  Trying to really get it going again (how many times have I said that?).  September was my worst month of running in 8 1/2 years.  I know what I want to feel like but am having a hard time convincing myself to put the work in.  Have to find the right carrot to put at the end of my running string.

Hey, look at that.  I actually ran more than 5 miles.  Wasn't sure it was still possible.  Even included a little elevation gain as I ran from home to St. Olaf's and back again.  First mile was painful.  I forgot how much havoc the weather change creates for my ankles.  Felt good once I got warmed up.

Decent run.  Focused on re-building a base.  Have to get consistent mileage during the week and a decent long run on the weekend.  The lack of long runs over the past month has really hurt me.  Both fitness and weight wise.

First run in the double digits in a few weeks.  Felt decent, although my legs didn't seem to enjoy the process.  It was cold enough to see my breath.  Perfect running temperature.
