Fall Frolick

After an overly crazy last week and a pathetically sick weekend, I realized that 9 days after the half marathon, I had yet to exercise. period. that stinks. after months of training, am I willing to throw it all away!?!?!? Well, I didn't do a whole lot. But I was able to dash out for a quick three miles before it got dark. I was shocked at how cold it became once the sun was no longer direct. I dashed through Swisshelm Park and down into Frick Park where the leaves were holding on to the glorious colors of fall. It was a nice run, but reminded me that I definitely need to invest in a head lamp so I'm currently looking into lightweight options that will actually stay on my head. I'm not sure if I'll really like the headlamp since I don't even like wearing a hat, but we'll work on it.

I think you'll definitely be able to find a lightweight version. I have an old clunky version, but Nathan has a newer sleek version, so if you want to try his sometime, you're welcome to. I think I will stick to roads w/ streetlights for now!

actually, megan got a brand new one last year as a wedding gift, but she doesn't want to lend it to you. something about not trusting the gehrings with expensive equipment.

whoa! what are you talking about? I think I resent that comment! are you referring to the bike? Cause I can't think of anything else! And besides, I don't want to try your stinkin' headlamp anyways :)

oh - I didn't even realize I got a new one...must not have tried it out yet. Of course you can borrow it, Lisa!
