Will and I ran the first 3 miles with Jade. Will and I saw some interesting mushrooms. They were flat, as big as my hand, and grew out from the bottom of a tree. It looked like a very nice place for a big toad to sit. Will enjoyed the entire run. We loved the temperature: 71 degrees. Tomorrow morning it is suppose to be 48! And Wednesday 39! Winter is coming.
A couple questions:
1) Is it healthy to run fast miles during a long run?
2) What is a good winter training for me?
For the first time, I miss the mountains.
Will and I were taking a new way to the store. I missed the exit. As we drove on to the next exit, the rolling hills gave way to flat fields. I looked to the left and was surprised not to see mountains. I had forgotten I was in Iowa. No mountains. Just clouds.
I am grateful to be surrounded rolling hills and trees. They are beautiful. I love the fall colors especially the trees that turn red. Without the hills and trees, I would miss the mountains even more. |
