So-o-o-o warm this morning. I'm going to miss the beautiful fall weather. Winter comes tomorrow! 7:12 pace.

Treadmill Tempo. 3 mile warm-up followed by a 5 mile tempo. 30:03. 6:00-6:01 pace. Running in the afternoon is so much easier on the body than first thing in the morning. No cool down. I had to get home to the babysitter. I'll probably regret that decision tomorrow!

I cross trained by shoveling snow. I didn't love it.

Treadmill day #2. I was making use of that monthly childcare payment. Myles did great! I got an entire hour of running before he hit his meltdown. Progressively faster run with 5 2 minute hills thrown in. I'm a little sore from yesterday. I'm hoping to hit the great outdoors tomorrow!

I don't get along well with the cold. So, after two lazy days where I mentally berated myself for not going running, but somehow couldn't find the gumption to get out there, I thought I should probably run. It helped that I had a partner to run with.

Expecting the worst, I layered up. Happily, it wasn't too bad out this morning. Jenny and I just kept a leisurly talking pace through the run. At nine miles it started to snow, but we were almost done, so it wasn't too bad. Sometimes it's really nice being the only crazy ones out running in the cold. So, even though I was dreading it, it was a very enjoyable morning!
