Made it to TWO morning rides this week! Haven't done that in a while and I noticed that it is getting darker longer..surprise, surprise...so the lights on my bike are finally getting some good use. The pace is generally slowly this time of year, going about 21-22 mph on the parkway. I guess everyone is feeling the cool of the air and thinking of the change in seasons and how that affects your energy levels. Tuesday morning we had eight riders show up and the temperature was about 72 degrees with nearly 100% humidity...a regular Louisiana morning for most of us. This morning there were seven of us who showed up and the change in weather was a bit more dramatic: mostly cloudy with temps hovering around 60 degrees!
Saturday I'll be at the Autumn Breeze Run doing the 10K (6.2 miles) and I don't know how well it'll go. I haven't been running as much as I'd like because of a tender tendon in my left ankle...even took two weeks off from running to give it a rest. That helped and I've already put in over 12 miles this week including a 4-mile run last night that I think I could have stretched it to 6-7 miles if I had wanted to. I'll be happy to get my time under 50 minutes (had a 44:47 last year) but I'm not expecting much this time out. Jonnene has to work this weekend so she won't be trying the 5K run.
