Great morning to run.  It was cooler and actually had some light sprinkles. I felt good but got out late (still adjusting to time change) so had to cut the run short.

Nice morning for a run. It was cloudy and cool with just a light wind.  I felt good today but just ran easy.

Another nice morning today.  I was dragging this morning.  Just tired and it took me awhile to get going.  First couple of miles were slow and easy then started feeling better and picked it up.  Ended up feeling good and ran a few strides toward the end.

Nice morning.  I didn't have much time today but I wanted to get out and do something.  I am trying to get back into running everyday so didn't want to miss even if it was for only a couple of miles.

Nice cool morning for running.  I was a little sluggish getting going this morning.  After a couple of easy miles was able to get going better.  Turned out to be a good run but was still tired most of the way.

Another great morning for running.  It was around 60 with no wind and sunny.  I felt pretty good this morning.  Started off real easy and then got going after a mile or so.  Ended up coming back at a good pace.  Excited to get a full week of running in.  Believe it or not this is my first full week of running since the spring and the 29 miles is the most since Feb.  I really got to get back up to normal mileage.  I can't believe I have let myself go this long not running consistently.  Hopefully, this week will be the start to get me back on track.
