It's September, and here in the northern hemisphere, at least, the heat has moderated and it's nice and cool for running in the mornings. How is your running going?
It's going pretty well! My distance and pace are gradually increasing, not as fast as I'd like, but I'll take whatever progress I can get. I've been throwing in speedwork more often, which always helps. And the weather in the morning has been *perfect* for running for the last week or so.
Progress is progress. And good weather always helps. I have a number of friends who'll be running the Chicago Marathon this year and are hoping for continued coolth in the midwest (for a change!)...
The weather for the marathon is usually terrific, with occasional dramatic exceptions. (Like a few years ago when it got up to 90--not fun.) There are reasons why so many elite runners choose Chicago to try to set records. Way too crowded for me, though.
