Nice, cool, sunny early morning for a “long” run. It started at about 41 degrees but with the Sun out and a perfectly clear sky it was warmer than the air temperature. Started with a running hat and gloves but ditched those after about three miles.

Today’s run was a 10.6 mile hills/rolling hills course. Good workout. Pace was an easier, “let’s get used to distance” 10:01. Weight was 151.0.

First day in months without full-length sweatpants. Cool (50 degrees), but since the route was around the house and not long it was definitely OK. No hat or gloves either. Still need the jacket though. The wind gets cold.

Today’s run was a short 2.3 hills route. Pace was 9:36. Weight was 150.2.

A cool, mostly-clear morning. Temperature was around 40 and no real wind.

One of the things about getting out early is that you see the early morning sky just before sunrise. This morning there was a very thin crescent Moon low in the southeast. I’ve also seen Venus and mercury together and the end of a lunar eclipse. And skunks.

Today’s run was a 4.15 mile flat/mildly rolling hills route at an easy 9:52 pace. Weight was 150.0.

A mild morning for a run. The rain finally moved out. Rain isn’t really an issue but days of it gets a bit old. OK, enough already.

Today’s run was a 7.15 mile relatively flat route. Pace was 9:36. Weight was 151.4.

A wet early morning. Rain isn’t usually a big deal unless it’s a thunderstorm. That’s different. I’m nuts but not that nuts.

Today’s run was a 7.15 mile mostly flat route. Pace was 9:34. Weight was 150.4.
