Finally, something resembling seasonable late-fall weather in the Ozarks. After the rain stopped, the cold air arrived -- upper 20s and blustery. Actually felt the need to bundle up a bit for tonight's easy 6 -- sweatpants, long tech shirt, headband and those lovely brown cotton gloves, $1.15 at Harps. I guess I needed some weather like this just to acclimate in case it's 35 and windy in Memphis again. Run felt easy, but darn if I didn't average low-9 pace. I guess the cold air was stimulating. I hope the fact 9:07 felt easy means 8:01 will feel relatively easy in 19 days. |
