I decided to give my leg a few days rest before running.  I don't want to injure it before my race.  So, 6 miles today by myself in the neighborhood.  We've had a freakish cold spell lately and yesterday and today have only gotten up to about 60 degrees!!!  I actually had to turn on my HEATER in the middle of the day ... in August!!!  Crazy.  Next week will be back into the 80's luckily.  I'm not ready for cold weather yet.  We got a lot of rain along with the cold front, so the world smelled like heaven today as I was running.  Isn't it funny that rain can make everything just smell better.  Well, I guess not everything - manure and mold are some pretty huge exceptions. ha!

I'm in Colorado like you. I'm wondering where in Colorado you live. I'm in the south part of the Denver metro area and I'm trying to find a training partner to run with occasionally.
