Getting Cool Out There

We didn't have much of a summer this year, so every time we go out for a run lately, and I notice that each morning is getting a bit colder, I get a bit melancholy.

Today's run was another 6.8 KM run and we managed to get it done in under 43 minutes. That isn't as fast as or as far as the 7 KM fun run we did last week, but it is only the pre-training schedule before the 1/2 marathon training schedule. Plus, the fun run was on the flat, and we live in the hills.

We may have to reschedule tomorrows run for Sunday as all of the north island is going into a weather bomb! Cold, wind and rain! It isn't that we're wimps about running in the rain...ok, it's because we're wimps about running in the rain.

Oh, speaking of weather, during the fun run last weekend, the weather was spectacular, but only during the run. We started out the day under dark cloudy skies, and even about an hour before the race it was still kind of cloudy and cool, but about 15 minutes prior to the start of the race, we got mega-blue skies. All through the run it was sunny and pretty much windless and warm! Then after we crossed the finish line and started walking home, the clouds started rolling in.  Why am I talking about this in the first place? Because ever since we've been doing these run over the last four years, they have always had glorious weather! It doesn't seem to matter what the year in general holds, be it hot, cold, rainy, windy...each year they have wonderful weather.  Strange.

Here's the stats as of today:
