That's right. It's October 29 and we're getting our first snow here in Medina. Of course it's not sticking to anything yet, but still, it's the thought that counts. Everyone keeps predicting a hard winter this year. I say whatever. I have a short drive to work and we don't "need" to go anywhere out of town. I don't mind shovelling the snow, it's a decent workout. Obviously, I would prefer a more mild winter so I can run outside more. A cold and snowy winter will force me to purchase a new treadmill and run while looking at a cinder block wall. It's supposed to warm up for Halloween though, so this is only temporary.
As for running, I logged 7 miles on Friday afternoon. Mrs. P was out of town and I get out of work early on Fridays so I got an hour in before my son got out of school. Then I was cut off for the rest of the weekend. The run went well, though a little chilly. It was a little blustery Friday.
Last night I went to the track but found a soccer match getting ready. I drove down to the high school but they were playing flag football there. So I headed back to the middle school where I saw some people running on the sidewalk. They could have been with the club but I couldn't find them when I set out after them. So I headed home and did a nearly 3 mile loop. Almost 4 miles in last night. It was windy and chilly, but nice too. Maybe it was the darkness giving the evening a little bit of character. The gloom certainly made me feel like I was running a bit faster than normal, when in fact I wasn't.
The Inland Trail marathon, half marathon, and 5K are this Sunday in Elyria. I know some people in each event and wish them luck. I believe the New York City Marathon is also running on Sunday. I don't know anyone participating in that one, but wish everyone luck anyway. We more than likely will head out there to do the 5K. I feel rested, but my right foot feels a little worn still from Columbus. I think I'll keep the distances low for the time being. There's a half marathon the Sunday before Thanksgiving I'm keeping my eye on to finish out the season. I think I'll save what distance I still have left for that one.
