The photos from the Run for the Schools race came out today.  I found mine.  Seeing it made me want to run again.  As you might have read, I had been running like mad during the summer, but now that winter is coming, it’s so hard for me to get outside to run.  It’s not even the weather so much (it’s been unusually 70 degrees in November!) as the darkness.  It’s dark in the morning and it’s dark at night.  Since I work during the day, I completely miss all the light hours.  I am anti-treadmills too so that doesn’t help me out very much when I go the gym.  I’m way too attention deficit to run on a treadmill.  I get bored so easily even if I’m watching TV while I run.  I can tell that I’m losing my stride too because yesterday I went for a “run” and ended up running only 2 miles and walking 7.  Not bad for overall distance, but not exactly up to par with the highest ever 6-miles that I ran a few months ago.  Anyway, here’s to my summer of running.  Hopefully this doesn’t mark the end.
