Changing seasons

I ran 7.25 miles outdoors on Thanksgiving morning (Nov. 26), and, though I don't think it caused this, my back was sore and stiff for the next few days, so I did not run again until today. I had double reason to want to run today, though. For one thing, it may have been the last chance I'll have to run outside in a t-shirt in 2009 ... 46-degree sunshine made for an irresistible lure. And the second reason was that it occurred to me this morning, that since I'm planning to run a 5K this Saturday (the "Holiday Hustle," which I also did last December), I'd better get back in the saddle and make sure it was going to be OK. I'm still mildly uncomfortable, but not bad ... I sure won't be trying for speed, though! And, as to the weather, the rain that has dogged us in recent days is slated to return tomorrow, to be followed by SNOW on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
