Running in Shorts

It was 60 degrees in Chicago today. 60 DEGREES.

I could have taken the day off after running long on Sunday, but how do you skip a 60 degree day in November? You just can't. These are the days when you throw the training schedule out the window and just go for a run.

My 7-day mileage [you can't just look at weekly totals. Your body doesn't know what day it is and doesn't reset just because the calendar says it's a new week] is higher than it's been since early last October. I need to be careful not to overdo it.

This is race week for our event in Randleman with the Petty's and the Victory Junction Gang Camp. We are all very excited about the project. It's a great way to give back.

ORN: 3 miles, 33 minutes, 10/1 on the lakefront loop.

Hi John!! Wasn't the weather here great this week? (I'm over in Michigan-about 1h 30m from Chicago) Perfect for getting out and running along the lake!! I'm extremely looking forward to the run down at Victory Junction this weekend!! It is going to be such a great time...camp is amazing and so are the people that make it all happen there! What an awesome event...and there couldn't be a better cause...see ya in NC!

I enjoyed our warm weather here in MI, too. I tossed aside any schedule I might have had for the beautiful temps!
