Easy run.

6:06 am,  23°F, 80% humidity, winds calm.

We were having such a lovely warm autumn, and then all of a sudden it got cold.

But hey, I made it out four days this week already and it's just Friday. Maybe I'll get out tomorrow at make it five for the week. At least I've got two weeks in a row of 4 days/week. That's better than I've done in a long time. I figure if I can get back to being consistent, then I'll start increasing mileage. Right now I'm content with keeping it short if that's what it takes to get me out the door.

Oh, and I ran with Lindsay today. Because it's Friday.

And Thing 3 ran three miles on his own yesterday afternoon. But now his knee is hurting him, so I don't know what to make of that.

Glad you were able to get out and run. The cool weather sounds heavenly!

AWESOME WEEK.

Cool about #3. His knee will be better by Monday.

Hey, great job this week. So glad you're getting out.

Great job getting out four days, Carolyn! Consistency is probably a better plan than a lot of miles, right? Good for thing 3. Peter (my thing #1) has been running, climbing and biking and is so amazingly fit right now it is scary. He is also a really good swimmer, and I am trying to convince him to do a triathlon.

Good job on the week CinC!! I hope your son's knee is better soon, young ones seem to heal a lot faster!

Oh great so we have been having some nice indian summer. It only means that that 23 degrees is coming here...Yuck! but for whatever reason I like the cooler weather than the hot!

Great job at keeping up 4 days this week!

Nothing like a goal accomplished! :)

Congrats on the 4 days, and in that kind of cold! We really did kind of skip fall, what a bummer!

Hope all is well Carolyn!

Great job on getting back to consistency!

I can't quite comprehend 23 degrees right now, brrrrr.
