Weather swing! 30F higher this morning than at the beginning of the week. Felt good to break out the shorts again. Blurry photo to indicate glee. Next week back to freezing, so enjoying it for now. #runsky #runningpunks

First proper winter run this season. Broke out the cold weather kit. Pretty in the morning light. #winter #runsky #runningpunks

Dark, blustery (and hilly!) first run in my new RunningPunks kit. Made me a tad faster, especially on the downhill portions. And a lot easier to see.

Meet Phineas. This distinguished gentleman is at a ripe age of 10. He just received a surprising diagnosis of progressive neurological deterioration in his hind quarters. Doing well for now, but changes are coming, and we’ll keep trying to enjoy each day that we have. #dogs #dogsofbluesky

On the taper, my easy pace run somehow turned into a progressive run on the last third (thanks again, zombies) and somehow netted a new 1mile PB. #RunSky #runningpunks #run

The morning runs are now all in the dark. Add a few higher-paced zombie chases, including one in pitchdark woods, and there’s a wake-up for ya. #BlueSkyrun #running #runningpunks #zombies

About 2 weeks out from a HM, and I crushed a 10 mile training run this morning. The return to Fall temps is like an afterburner. The easy run turned into a progressive for the last quarter.
