I haven't run since the 5k on Sept 26th, so nothing strenuous.  But it did make me remember all the things that I love about running. I especially love sweating!  That's something I never used to do (apparently I never worked out hard enough!)

It felt great to get out and run today. It was drizzling but not cold. In fact, it was the perfect temperature.   I left around 6:15 am, did 4 miles at 8:38 pace, average heart rate was 161--which seems high for that speed.  In fact, on mile #1 I ran 8:47 pace and my heart rate was at 145.  On mile #3, I ran exactly the same pace, but my heart rate was 167. Hmm.. .

Okay, I'm lame for not running.  Argh! So hard to get motivated when I'm not training for anything. Morning just comes way too soon.  

 But that being said, I did do 1 hour of cardio work out and then ran a couple of miles pushing 2 kids in the stroller.  It felt GREAT!  I love running in the fall.
