What Happened to Indian Summer?


Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Last weekend, I was dressed like this:

done!

Today I pulled out my capris, fleece vest, windbreaker, fleece headband and gloves.

I am trying to still do longish runs on the weekend. So I headed for the Corning Preserve where I finished my half marathon 2 weeks ago.

and sweating in a tank top

It was very windy and in the 40’s.  Since I ran 6 miles last weekend, the plan was for 7 today.  3.5 out and then back.  The path which is usually full of runners and bikers was pretty empty.  Too cold!!!

I wore my new Brooks and I was cruising on the way out.  On the way back, it was a different story.  Walk…run…walk…run.  Blech but I was running into the wind.

7 cold, windy miles done!

Well, I better get used to this weather.  It’s just going to get colder!

Happy Running!  Do you like running in the cold weather?

  1. I love running in this weather. I live in the same area as you (I’m in Saratoga) and I ran 12 miles at SPAC on Saturday it was perfect.

    However, the next morning I volunteered to help with a race, and I was FROZEN. I wished I could run jus to get warm.
