Today was a beautiful Fall day. It started off cold but became "cool" later on in the afternoon. I ran 4 miles this morning at the Columbian Trail. The temperature was 32 degrees F when I started, and 43 degrees F when I finished. Then I went on a 5 1/4 mile bike ride later in the day when it was 51 degrees F. It was an awesome day!This past week has been difficult in that I have been battling a head cold...sneezing, sinus pain and a sore throat. I ran 3 miles Monday, but only 1 mile Tuesday, and sick, sick, sick Thursday! I felt better Sunday and had a goal of running 3 miles at Vorhees State Park. Unfortunately half way into my second mile I tripped and fell, skinning my right leg and cutting up my left knee. I continued running with my legs stinging(and bleeding) until I finished my second mile. After getting into my car and starting home I realized I wasn't hurt that badly, so I drove to a less rocky, rooty trail and ran my third mile (under 11 minutes!). I felt great!
The only problem today was that I still didn't have my computer back from Best Buys. I had a virus that the Geek Guys from Best Buys told me was from Facebook; it took over my computer, imitating my virus software. I couldn't do anything because there was a big blue square in the middle of my screen. The Geek Guys said I would have my computer back yesterday, but they told me today that my computer is still being "diagnosed". I hope I get my computer back soon! In the mean time I picked up an Acer lap top
; this little guy is tiny and cute! Now at least we have a back-up when we need it!I have to say that my Columbian long sleeve turtleneck Omni-Dry shirt
kept me really warm and dry during my run this morning; I highly recommend it! I am not looking forward to the winter months, cold with little sunlight, but I am determined to maintain a positive outlook. I will continue to run, with my petzl headlamp on
, in my warm comfortable running clothes!Life, like nature, has seasons...each one unique, each one special!
