Summer is over

I know summer is over because we've had rain two days in a row, and it's gray and cold.

I was not psyched about running this morning when the rain on my skylight woke me at 3:30 a.m. But I was able to get out of bed on time (4:25!) and get moving anyway. Nancy and Latosha were already in the locker room when I got there, and after a quick debate on whether it was raining hard enough to stay indoors, we decided to head out. It was only misting/drizzling, but it was the first day in a while where I needed my jacket (in addition to a long-sleeve shirt and capri-length pants).

We didn't plan a route, figuring we'd see how we felt and what the rain did. It stopped about 10 minutes into our run, so we meandered along the bike trail and then linked up with a regular route that we like to run. At about 50 minutes in, headed back towards the club, we decided to go the longer way around the block. Of course the rain started hard just then, so we pretty much got poured on for 10 minutes at the end. Surprisingly, I felt kind of whiny about it! Nancy and Latosha were perfectly fine.

Then I lifted weights and was happy with what I saw in the mirror - nice definition in my arms and legs. I need to do more pushups to tone my upper arms more, but I was able to do 15 real ones! I did them sort of fast, though, so I'm going to work on getting them done slow, like Danielle does in yoga.

My weight this morning was exactly the same as yesterday: 142.4. Here are the rest of my numbers:
