Another 26.2

Today's run was one beautiful moment after another. Thoroughly enjoyable. And then to beat my goal by 8 minutes — icing on the cake.

This is why I run.

A great way to wrap up November, and now quickly approaching 600 miles for 2008. This is exciting.

A bit of a hiatus there. So thought I better try to turn in 10K or more. Made my goal on this wintery day, the first on snowy paths this season.

Sleet and rain today. So I drew the line and stayed indoors, much as I hate the treadmill. And my body seemed to rebel — I didn't go all that fast.

Rather cooler today, and with some strong shots of wind on the north and south sides of the lake. But only light snow.

It's been lovely until today; now it's getting downright muggy. How about some regular fall weather again?

It was such lovely weather, I thought I would have another helping of 10K this weekend.

And today Grace wanted to run with me, so I took her for the first 1-1/2 miles. She did well; we ran that at about a 10 min/mi pace.

A great start to a festive weekend. Katie's birthday tomorrow, and birthday eve date night tonight. (with Daylight Savings Time ending, to boot!)

Should have probably been a bit faster for 10 km, but oh well. Felt great, and a lovely morning to run.
