This morning, I completed my longest run since 10/7/2012. It was perfect training weather: Sunny, 35 degrees and a slight wind. The cold wind makes the workout a tad more challenging, but you don't feel that "heat stroke" type nausea that happens often during a long hot run in the summer. With the extra layers of clothing, I don't tend to over-speed, which is easier on my legs and that's the point of a true "long, slow, distance" run.
Anyway, I took some pictures on my run.

Believe it or not, all of these pictures are unfiltered/unaltered pics of the Lakefront Trail this morning.
Total: 13.1 Miles @ 7:51/mile. A Dunkin' Donuts bagel sandwich was my reward after the run!
looks like it was a beautiful day to run....nice pics!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! Looked like a delightful morning for a run :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a really great morning!
DeleteI am laughing out loud about the man encountering the orb series. This needs to be in the museum of contemporary art!!
ReplyDeleteI should think about submitting it to the MCA. I could just hang out by the "orb" all day and get pics of people examining it.
DeleteGreat pictures! and even better run, what a fast pace!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThank you so much for the marathon training advice. I REALLY appreciate it!
DeleteNow is a great time to be down there. It is relatively uncrowded compared to spring/summer.
ReplyDeleteSuch peaceful images! I absolutely love the series on the man with the orb!!! What a difference the season makes on the lakefront path, wow. I'm so used to it being packed during the summertime with all the marathon training groups!
