Autumn Morning Running Views. It finally feels like November. I don’t love the cold but that first crisp morning is always a bit special.

Medal (or, rather, podium) Monday. Age division place at a trail 10k. Run buddy was nice enough to preview the course with me beforehand. So, I didn’t get lost and I didn’t fall down. Fall running has officially kicked off.

Not quite the fast/flat course I was expecting. Three decent climbs spread throughout the course made this one a challenge. Spent the rest of the day on a bourbon inspired pin crawl with my run buddy (who was nice enough to navigate us to each stop)

When you run a half marathon in Kentucky you have to pet a horse when it’s all over. PS I was on a bourbon crawl 🙂. An excellent post race activity. lol.

4 mile morning. Fool’s fall is officially over. I can see the air again. Back to the humid southern summer for a few more weeks. Did see a friend this morning though.

A day of exploring before the half marathon. Wasn’t going to see much of Blackwater Falls State Park during the race. It started at midnight. So, made the most of the sunshine during the day

Views from this weekend’s half marathon. It all didn’t go quite to plan but the location was beautiful. I could have stayed up here all day.

Get up. Get moving.

Always keep a weather eye on the horizon.

It’s fine. I’m fine. Workout was great. I just have to be dramatic about it for a few minutes.

Second weekend run. Half the long run, which was yesterday. Currently enjoying “false fall” but I’m not going to get tricked like I do every year. Summer will has weeks to go.

Sometimes it nice to just be outside. No timers. No watches. No particular destination in mind. Can’t remember the last time I took a quiet mosey

It is my ten year runner-versary! Ten years ago I stepped outside my door for the very first time and went for a run. Absolutely no idea what I was doing. From that to the world’s most okay-est runner. Here’s to another year (minus any broken toes)

When your personal trainer is also your friend he may deal with more attitude than is normal. Was I doing the burpees correctly? No. Did I want to hear about it? Also no. Did we move on like I was acting like a toddler? Yes.

How it started vs how it ended. Start strong and finish strong (or finish in a sweaty heap on the floor. Both work really 🙂).

Silly runner, long runs are for selfies with friends, in the dark, before the sun comes up. 🤔 Today with @readrunrepeat.bsky.social
(Don't worry, we did eventually do our long runs, too)

My well seems to have momentarily run dry this morning. Feel free to add your own 😆.

Getting ready to attempt speed work in stifling humidity. I’m going to remember this feeling when it’s January and I’m complaining it’s too cold while refusing to wear mittens.

Long run vibes. The trick is to wake up before the sun does. Watching the world slowly come to life as the miles pass beneath your feet is always an experience.

Are you taking this workout seriously?”

“Of course I am”

Remember, It’s okay for fitness to be fun too. You are always allowed to laugh. Especially at yourself.
