RUN 6.1 miles in ???
The Garmin didn't make it, it died around mile 3.
This wasn't with the normal Thursday group. It was raining pretty heavy and still dark out. When you're building to a race, it's easy to convince yourself to run no matter what. When you're the only one of your friends building to a race, it's hard to convince them to run no matter what. So no group run this morning, DH doesn't like me running alone in the dark. I don't blame him!
But the mid-60's weather, foggy rain, and outstanding fall colors were too strong of a pull--as soon as a few rays of light hinted at dawn I was out the door. I was wet within minutes and to my surprise pretty warm too! It was beautiful!
Some of the trees glowed a bright yellow, red, or orange against a flat gray misty sky. Normally you don't notice one particular tree as you run by, but today certain ones were fantastically glowing. If I could have taken pictures I would have!
And so ends October. My race is now 10 days away! This run felt great, fast and strong. But technically I'm tapering too, so I resisted the pull for more mileage and went home.
