October means crisp invigorating temperatures, bright blue skies and a vivid sunrise. I was running a week ago as the sun set. It was warm, rained for 10 minutes and as the sky cleared, this is what appeared.
Isn’t it beautiful? Running is not only great for your body and physical fitness- it’s also a great, reinvigorating shot of life for your emotional well being. I hope to see many more mornings like this during my training.
Today I ran and felt great. I run short distances in the early morning to wake up. The end of fall is a great time to appreciate cool but not frigid temperatures and work towards improving your running time. I make sure to run 3 to 4 miles a day to keep my legs, head and heart in good working order, and I’ll keep pushing harder as we get closer to the arctic marathon.
