Notes:
- We had some real fall weather this week, and I loved it! (Okay, minus the wind.) Lows in the 30s? Highs in the 50s? Yes, puh-lease!
- I got to talk with Kelly during my long run this week. What a treat – I hadn’t chatted with her during a run since August!
- I’ve been building my mileage up in case I decide to run a marathon in December (and to lose weight to get ready for the race). I’ll decide on the race as close to it as possible… or whenever they start to threaten that it’s about to sell out!
Funny that you were dreaming of a chai tea latte on Saturday morning because I stopped and got one after your class and thought it would have been great if you were with me!! Weird!
We’re getting fall weather too, with lows in the 50s. I hope that stays because I’d like to start running outside again.
Thoughts of a hot chai latte were all that got me through the end of my Saturday run 🙂 I was going to reward myself with a full fat version but Mike ended up getting me the skim version anyway because I forgot to tell him! That’s what I get for trying to communicate with my mind.
Aww! But he had it waiting for you? That is pretty awesome 🙂
