Our Sunday morning #running for the last day of #summer felt very much like an #autumn run through the orange hued trails. We’ve been ramping up our distances as we’ve been training for fall races, so this morning was 12k of rolling creek and suburban paths in the chilly morning air.

8r4d#running everyday for exactly two weeks is exhausting. It’s not so much the distance, but the lack of proper rest and recovery between runs means that some days it feels like you haven’t stopped for much more than a nap, and to your body not leaving enough time between runs is as good as not resting at all. So it kinda starts to be like running one really long run broken into segments, rather than multiple runs.
Good news tho, my new #headphones arrived in the mail yesterday and I got to try them out on run number fourteen of my streak. They are bone conduction headphones so they don’t block the ole ear holes and are supposed to be safer for situational awareness like traffic and heavy machinery.
