Weekly recap

Although it was a very busy work week I still got my runs in and feel great about that. 

Here is my week in review.  Since the temperatures are changing - I am going to start recording the 7AM temp's and tracking them along with my weekly running mileage.

Sun:  7.5 mile run - avg pace: 9:54 - temp 43
Mon:  2 mile walk - temp 36
Tues:  2 mile run - temp 44
Wed: 6 mile run - biked to work - 1.5 hr yoga class - temp 49
Thur: 2 mile walk - temp 54
Fri:  2 mile run  - temp 42
Sat:  10 mile run - no garmin - temp 41

Miles RUN - 27.5  Only 273 away from 1,000

The cooler temp's have been a welcome change from the heat and humidity of summer but there is a fine line between cooler and COLD!  This morning as I write this post the temp is 34.  In January, 34 would be considered pretty  nice - but on Oct 3rd - 34 is cold.  These first cooler/cold mornings are hard to figure out what to wear.  Once winter gets here it is easy . . . but until my body gets adjusted to the cooler temps - it is sooo easy to over dress . . . and there is nothing worse than being too warm after a couple miles.

I bought a new pair of running pants and gloves this week at REI.  I also bought a head light.  I have always been an early morning runner and have simply run in the dark.  But as I get a little older - I like to see the pavement . . . so I am going to be trying it out this week.  I will let you all know how I like it.

I am sending out positive thoughts to area runners participating in the Twin Cities and Milwaukee Lakefront Marathons.  Julie from Julie's Running Blog, here and a co-worker Mary Anne are running the Twin Cities.  And a big shout out to Jamie from Running Diva Mom, here and Chelsea from Early Runner, here who are both running the Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon.  All 4 of these women were probably questioning their running outfits this morning due to the cool temperatures.  Good Luck!

Getting ready to head to church.
Hope you all have a great Sunday - enjoy the Fall temp's and changing leaves.
