Hello, Fall
Today actually felt like fall. It was chilly and overcast but not cold – there are maybe 7 days like that in Missouri before it becomes bitterly cold and you wish for spring.
I went out and enjoyed it with an 8 mile run. It was an amazing run – thanks to the cooler temperatures my legs were having a Forrest Gump moment. I felt like I could keep going. My average pace was fast too (for me) at a 9:00 minute mile. If only the weather is this good for the half marathon next weekend – and my legs feel that fresh. My calves were a little sore for the first three miles (from the 5k I think) but I didn’t notice it after that. I think my pace today for the first 3 miles was probably the same as it was for the 5k yesterday – which just goes to show that if I had hydrated better and not been tripped by my dog, maybe I could have done better
For dinner I made a Cheddar Apple panini on my grill pan. I used whole wheat bread, dijon mustard, sliced apple and sharp cheddar. It was a different combination but really good and Mark liked it too.
When Mark said we had pumpkin beer, I put more of my chips on his plate…
The Schlafly Pumpkin Ale is one of the best pumpkin beers I’ve ever had. Not only does the beer actually taste like pumpkin, but it is the best smelling beer ever – cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg flood your nose.
Speaking of cloves, I was all out of ground cloves and went to buy a jar and it are SO expensive. Some of the small jars were $9! I managed to find a $4 bottle but still, wow.
