My running buddy and I met for our first really cold run of the fall.  It was nice to run and talk, although the pace was slow.  I debated about running until 10 miles, but the wind picked up and I felt I should just call it a day.

I love it when we get to turn back the clock.  It was cold out this morning, with temperatures in the low to mid-30's, but I grabbed my music and set out for my run. I ran well, finishing with an average time of 10:12/ mile.

With daylight savings ending yesterday and since I was able to get up a bit later due to having a Professional Learning day, I chose to run from home.  It was cold, but, I actually got to run while the sun was just starting to rise for the day.

I was back at the gym as it was cool this morning and I needed a change in scenery after running out in the cold yesterday.

I went back to the gym today and had a pretty nice run.  I thought that I would have to cut it short, but I was able to pick up the pace for the last mile and still get to work on time this morning.

I wound up having a really good run this morning averaging 10.12/ mile.  I ran near home running my usual 10 mile route, which is a tad hilly.  It was cold, but nice as my music kept me company throughout the duration.  I finished in 1:42.30

It was another cool run this morning although I might have overdressed just a bit, but it was alright.  I brought my music again and averaged 10:15/ mile, which left me content.

I went to the gym this morning for my run.  I thought that I may only get 5 in, but I felt better as I ran and went 6, which was my original plan.

I had to cut my run a mile short due to a 7:30am meeting.  I felt good enough to run 6 and would have if I had the time.

I had a nice run with my running buddy this morning.  It was really cold, but we got in 8 together and then I completed another two on campus listening to the UGA Redcoat band warmup for tonight's game.

After sleeping in and walking the dogs with my husband, I was able to head outside for my run.  It was cold, with temperatures in the upper 30's, but I brought my music to keep my company and had a nice run.  I was able to maintain a 10:16/ mile pace, which was just fine with me.

I was able to get 6 miles in this morning with my running buddy and added another 3 on my own while enjoying the scenery and music on campus as UGA was getting ready for the 12:00 game.  It was cold with the temperature around 37 degrees at the start, but not as bad as last weekend.

I had a nice, but somewhat slow 9 mile run today.  The weather was cold, but the conversation with my running buddy was nice.  Getting a long run is always a nice way to start the weekend.

After sleeping in, I was able to get up, eat and get myself out the door before anyone else was up.  It was a bit cold to start, but once I was able to get going all was fine.  I brought my music with me to keep me company.
