Remember how last week I was complaining that we skipped fall and went right to winter? Well now we're back to almost summer-like weather. We did have some nice fall mornings this week and even some 60 degree mornings and 70 degree days. Between that weather and the time change it was a confusing week. But it did make for some good running weather!

Winter
As expected, we had a few days of nice fall weather and then it started to feel like winter. It really feels like I was just complaining about the heat 2 weeks ago, and now it's below freezing in the mornings. I think it might get a little warmer again next week, but not much. Anyway, here's my week of workouts after our nice 3 days of fall!

And next week will be even less, until the weekend that is! It was another week of ups and down. I feel like evert week I am questioning if this race will happen. I won't know for sure until I'm there doing it. Let's take a look at this week's workouts.
