Cool and breezy today but temps are still warmer than normal for this time of year.  I am still in shorts and a long sleeve shirt with gloves and really enjoy not carrying around all the extra cloths.  Ran with Meg for about half the distance today and then finished up solo.

Temps are getting cooler and by tomorrow they could reach freezing so I guess the days of running in shorts are going to become more sparse.  Still a nice morning for a run with a huge bright full moon setting in the west.  Other than that it was the standard easy 6 miler.

Felt kinda tight this morning.  Felt like I was running faster but it felt like a major struggle to keep a slightly faster pace than I have been running all week.  Not sure what caused the distress but I hope it passes soon.  Nothing else too exciting, 42 degrees and supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow.....oh gooody!

I think I know why I was tight yesterday, I am coming down with a cold today.  I decided not to run since the temp was in the mid 30s and I spent most of the night not sleeping well and feeling kinda crappy.  Hopefully it will pass quickly so I can get back at it.

Finally got out again for a run.  Still a little congested from this cold I have been fighting but I think I am finally on the mend.  Temp was around 36 this morning but it was dry and no real wind so it was comfortable.  Hopefully my health continues to improve so I can get back to some consistent training again.  I haven't really been very consistent since SGM, mostly due to my lack of motivation.   I need to find the drive again and get moving.

Took it really slow today.  Didn't have much of a choice my body just didn't feel like going and I was pretty dang tired by the end.  I don't see great things in my future for Painters.  Giving a "double" in a blood donation yesterday probably didn't help my cause either.

Nice and warm this morning just like last Saturday.  The temp was 46 and it looks like it may rain today.  Nice to still be able to run in shorts once in a while.  Nothing exciting just glad to be out pounding the pavement on one of my rare runs.

Four miles on the treadmill at the YMCA.  Way too windy and cold for running.
