Easy lunchtime run with Laureen on the golf course loop. Kind of warm for the first of October, but a beautiful day nonetheless. Legs are feeling rested and have some bounce in them, but my lungs were a little tight for some reason (it may be allergies or a bit of a cold).

Easy run with Richard in the dark. It turned out to be warmer than last night's weather report predicted, so I was slightly overdressed. I'm not feeling any aches or pains, so I could probably start stepping up things a bit.

Highland Glen loop at lunchtime. The temperature was 70 degrees with a light breeze blowing. It felt great and I felt great, outside of a little stiffness. I pushed it at what has been MP for the first couple of miles and then eased off a bit on the uphill stretch as I started feeling a bit fatigued (possibly due to the cold I've been fighting). Felt better a half mile later and pushed the pace again, especially through the trees along the creek. During the run I thought about the Runner's Series and how it wasn't that long until January and the Painter's Half. I need to gradually ease back into a solid workout routine, but make sure that I stay injury-free.

Since the kids were off for UEA, went for a lunchtime run with Laureen and Amelia (couldn't persuade Brittany) to join us. The weather was perfect. We had a fun time and it felt good to push it up the hills.

Met up with Richard at 5:45 for a run around the pond. I was dragging a bit from lack of sleep (got to bed after midnight and then had some tightness and wheezing in my chest that kept me up for a a while after that).

Went out with Laureen at noon. A beautiful, fall day.

Met up with Richard for our Monday loop around the Highland Glen pond. The temperature was in the mid-40's but felt a little colder because of the high humidity. The stars were beautiful!
