Cold October Mornings

I have never liked early morning running.
But, this has been my routine now since school began in my effort to keep all the weight off I lost from Jan-August.

Lisa and I hit the pavement around 5:05 or 5:10 and go. We have had this standard run for a minimum of 3 days a week consistently since Mid-August. We have run in all types of conditions- even got drenched by rain one morning.

Slowly I have gotten better at it- more used to it- almost enjoying it....

But these last two morns have been my biggest enemy yet- darker and cold. Brrrrrrrrr.
I dislike cold.

We changed the route up a bit to get off the trails because it seems darker this week (the moon has been just a sliver).

But I am always amazed by creation- the stars have been spectacular and the owl greets us with his hoot.
It was 38F this morning...how low can I go?

I guess I'll have to wait to see what I do in November.......
