~40F, cloudy w/ light wind. Recovery run in VFFs. My weather website seems to be down. I hope they fix it soon, because the site records conditions just a couple of blocks from my house. The other weather sites collect data for my zip code, which has two very distinct and different microclimates. The VFFs were too cold and my toes froze. I even wore some new merino wool Ininji socks with them, but I am so used to my nice warm shoes that it became extremely uncomfortable by the end of the run. Enough whining. Here are two nice surprises I had this weekend. The first is that I discovered a mistake in my favor: what I thought was an ounce of dark chocolate is actually only a half ounce! I've been tracking my food intake lately and cutting back on certain foods. To be "allowed" twice as much dark chocolate is a very happy discovery indeed. Secondly, I discovered an extra, unworn pair of Brooks ST3s in my closet! Last fall, when I realized the ST3's might not continue being produced, I bought a few pairs at discount on the internet. I'm such a space cadet, I have been staring right at the box every time I pick out shoes for my day's run, but it didn't register that there was anything in it. OK. Confession. I have a thing for shoe boxes. I try to limit myself and put some in the recycling, but they pile up anyway. They have so many uses I can't help it! This morning I was pushing this box out of the way, searching for my Ininji socks, when I realized, "hey - there's something inside this one!" More chocolate, a new pair of ST3s (to be saved for marathons only!) -- it's a good day. ETA: Oops - forgot my weekly roundup.... total 45.74 miles for Mon-Sun. Out of time to do my usual details...
