Hello October

I didn't mention it, but I ran yesterday before work. I thought I heard rain after my alarm rang, but the cloudburst was apparently over and the road bloomed with puddles. I crept out from my quiet apartment to where the people were running with dogs and riding bikes. 

My right hamstring clenched and cringed, but it let me run about 5k anyway. It was warmer than expected, and my long sleeves felt too long and heavy. The air was as flat as the water in the canal, and the sun rose in an arc of pale blue sky as I jogged along.

My plan is to keep the runs short & simple but consistent this month (3-4 per week). I'm considering meeting with the ol' run club for some speed training and nerdy running conversation. Dreaming of a spring race. Halifax?
