Thursday was cold and rainy so I was relegated to running on the treadmill. My first experience on the never ending belt in a long time. Needless to say it was miserable. At least the baseball playoffs were on TV. I ran 5 miles and the Cardinals ending up losing. Wainwright was tough but Holiday……
Friday was a day off since I would be waking up at 05:00 on Saturday to get in a long run. The family was leaving for the Broom Orchard Pumpkin Festival in the morning and not getting back until late. The temperature was a chilly 34 degrees and it was pitch dark when I left. The moon was out but so was fog. I ran around Washington Park and back totaling 11 miles. Deciding on how much clothing to wear takes some tweaking. Because I haven’t run in cold weather in a while I was overdressed and was drenched with cold sweat by the time I got back. 0.5 miles from home I got to wave good bye to Alex and the crew heading up to Chicago. Fast Feet boys……
