A really impressive cold front stormed in last night. I was running seven miles on the track under a half moon, watching the cold front approach. The north sky was filled with lightning throughout the run, starting with just distant flashes in the clouds and progressing to huge chains across the sky. About a half hour after I finished the cooler air finally started blowing in and within a few minutes it was raining buckets. It was over 76 degrees during my 7 to 8 PM run but by midnight it was in the 50s and this morning was the coldest of the season. Today was just an easy 10 miles, but tomorrow is a 12 mile run with 7 miles at LT and then another recovery run of 4 miles.
This is a real relief from the recent unseasonably warm weather.
Here are the daily low temperatures this year. I wish we had more days with the low under 60.
Here's a story about some other 'Running Nukees'. I love the quote: "I ran on behalf of the wish to build a nuclear power plant that is loved by the people."

Hahahah, you're such a nukee!
I'm glad you didn't get struck by lightning out there on your run.
The cold weather must be a welcome relief. I'm in awe of your training (80m+ weeks in such warm weather)! Keep at it - a few more weeks and it will be time to taper :) Looking forward to reading about your Houston run - as usual I'm sure you'll do great...
I heard parts of Texas got snow over the weekend (not sure how close those parts are to your neck of the woods). I thought of you. :) Enjoy the cooler temps!!
