Fabulous Fall

One would never had imagined that it was November 7th. The air feels more like an early September morning run--fresh yet cool on your skin. It was our last regular season Monday morning practice today. I am so impressed by how well the girls handle the demanding season and early mornings. They nailed a 5x1000 workout this morning, which was the motivation to get out there myself today.

I ran the riverside loop and saw the newly paved roundabout on Angela. There was no agenda for the run, just get a solid run in. It's amazing what the legs will do when you let them do anything. My legs had their own agenda, and they decided to roll. Before I knew it, I was clicking off 7:20's and wondering how long it would last. I reflected back to my last training schedule when doing this pace would have been a mental headache--here's to being (hopefully not too) optimistic that I'm in better shape this year than for last spring.

Despite the lack of sleep, today's going to be a good day.

Happy Monday!
