Early afternoon today I ran 4.25 miles. It was a lovely autumn day with temperatures in the upper 50s, sunshine, and gentle breeze that didn't cool it down too much. Unlike yesterday, when I went for a walk with The Wife and I never felt like I warmed up even though I wore plenty of layers. Today I wore my old running shoes, while yesterday I walked in the new ones. That seemed to be the smart way to do it, unlike last week when I tried to run straightaway in my new pair. I got the extra quarter-mile today beyond my goal by running through the streets of a new neighborhood to the north of ours. The earthwork crew has finished laying out the lots and the streets are in, so I thought why not? It added some uphills to my workout, but not as bad as trying to run up the steep hill I normally walk on Lake Forest. Anyway, all good today and I'm ready for the Turkey Trot on Thursday. I might even walk again tomorrow even though it's supposed to be windy again, which is the same forecast for Thanksgiving.
