Glorious Ride
This morning when O and I were driving to the pool it was kind of chilly! Actually it was in the 60s but with lower humidity it felt so...GOOD. I love cooler weather. Which means that my run right after my swim was really awesome. Because I didn't feel like I was breathing through a hot, wet towel. :)
All day at work I longingly looked outside at the beautiful sunny day! I had a 2:30 ride on tap this afternoon and I COULD NOT WAIT to get out and get it started!
But on the drive home from work, my worst nightmare - rain drops. And then thunder!
Luckily I'm married to a part time weather man. (not really, but O is smart and figures things out like where and when the storms are coming) He told me to wait 30 minutes and I would be fine. So I did. And I was.
I had such a great ride. It was in the high 70s/low 80s, sunny, lower humidity. Just a glorious, beautiful summer evening. I felt good and it was just nice to listen to the whirrrr of my wheels on the country roads. And not much else. I really didn't even think of much. Just enjoyed the fact that I am so blessed to do what I love just about every day.
So now it's time for bed. But I just checked the overnight lows and I may just get my run in tomorrow morning in 50 degree temps. I can't wait! :)

Running in cold weather is my favorite thing ever! No soaking sweat, crisp air.. makes me miss Northern California to hear you talk about it.
My husband and O would get along well.. he's a weather junkie too.
