Warm Running in October

The temperature was actually a bit warm for running Thursday afternoon, but I’m not complaining. A beautiful, sunny day with plenty of fall color. I ran 6.1 miles on the park’s grass trails in 1:07, which is about 11 minutes per mile. Not fast but what the heck, it was warm, I stopped to take pictures several times, and I’m tapering. It'll do.

I did twist my ankle on a tree root in the last quarter mile, but it didn’t hurt the morning afterward so it can’t be too bad. That run finishes the week, with a total of just 18 miles.

Glad that your ankle is okay. It's amazing how much harder it is to run with the temps spike up. That's great that yours went well!
