The past two months have been incredibly gorgeous days in southeast Idaho. Pure, bluebird skies and 60-70 degrees for nearly every day. September seemed a bit windy, but October has been nearly completely calm as far as winds go. Great days for running at lunch, and I suppose that is keeping my running consistent. I should have been riding my bike, too, but it simply isn't in the cards of time. I'm not even on the trainer yet, even though I wanted to start two weeks ago....it seems I always burn out a bit on the trainer come mid-March, so I'm not too worried about it. If I get into mid-November without any biking, I'll have to kick-start myself somehow.
That's all about to change. Sunday night and Monday morning, we're supposed to see the first winter storm WITH SNOW! "You git what ya git and don't throw a fit." I'll have to remember what it's like to run in pants, jacket, hat, and gloves, I guess. Embrace whatever weather comes your way. The right gear solves every problem, except the doldrums of too many days without a peak at the sun.
There's a trail run in the local mountains here on Saturday morning. I really wanted to do both of the two that are held each year, but I missed the first one two weeks ago because we had a contractor come by the house that Saturday morning. This weekend on race day, family will be here for Paul's second birthday. Mmmmm....not sure how that's going to work out. 10k over the hills and through the woods (literally!) on a beautiful fall morning is hard to beat.
Book update: I made some final changes required by Smashwords, and it will be available for all major e-book formats after they upload it to those distribution sites.
