It's A Heat Wave!!!
Today was awesome - 60 some degrees and sunny. The weather is so unusual, and I think I have grown accustomed to cooler weather lately. So, in true Chicago fashion, 60 degrees feels hot! I was getting some Christmas shopping done this morning, and I hurried home to change clothes and run a few miles. I was so excited to break out a pair of running shorts and a sleeveless shirt to wear outside! I pushed a little further today running a little over five miles. While extending a half mile more, I also ran at a slightly quicker pace. As of this evening my knees are feeling pretty good. Even the top of my foot isn't bothering me. I think it will be an interesting experiment to find out what it will feel like later this week when the temps drop down to a more appropriate 30 degrees. I really do think that there is a temperature variable at work, but I am not sure how to also rule out self-fulfilling prophesy...
