This week I was forced to do my long run  today. Yes, I know it’s Friday, but due to the fact my kids have sports activities I must attend this weekend there is no time for me to do a long run.  Two positives came out of this: one the weather was a lot cooler  and I have my workout done for the weekend and I can just play and not have to worry about fitting in a work out.

Let’s talk about the weather for a minute. It has been so hot that running has been no fun. Well this morning I got cold weather and wind. At one point I was having to hold my cap on my head and my eye was watering at the same time because of  the wind going in it.   I thought I was going to lose my contact. That would be just great blind in one eye and loosing my cap would mean bad hair being blown all over the place. Kind of funny when I think about that picture.   Now I am not complaining because my run was great and I actually did 15.5 miles in 2 hrs and 45 minutes. It was just such a drastic change from the 90 degree temps on my last run on Tuesday.  I love to run around the lakes because it just seems like time flys and before I know it I am done and running in the cooler weather I just did not feel so tired when I was done. Yeah me!!! I think I might move all my long runs to Fridays.

Now with that workout done I am going to go and enjoy the St. Amant football game tonight and tomorrow I will be at Mason’s swim meet. Oh yeah tomorrow night a bunch of us from the team are running in the Oktoberfest 5k put on by Budweiser. Wow another Saturday of running and finishing with beer. I hope everyone enjoys the cooler weather.

Until next time keep looking up because that is where He is.
