Seasonal transition is often evident on the running trail. In these photos, one moment you\u2019re enjoying a crisp and clear autumn day and a half mile later, you see storm clouds brewing over the mountains. While our area is still not expecting frigid temperatures for a little while, they are coming and it\u2019s a good time to check out the winter wardrobe.

I\u2019ve written two<\/a> posts<\/a> on winter running gear in the past so I\u2019ve linked to those in the interest of not being overly repetitive.

The cold weather may slow us down but it shouldn\u2019t prevent us from getting out onto the road or trail in the first place. Plan ahead now and when those storm clouds finally show up, you\u2019ll be ready.

A note on race recovery time. I\u2019m twenty-six days out from my marathon and during that time, I\u2019ve been able to tell that the recommendations of one recovery day for every mile of the race distance are spot on. I\u2019ve been running but my longest distance has been six and through all of them, I can tell that taking it easy is the right thing to do. Though on a technicality I\u2019ll be past the recovery time by tomorrow, I\u2019ll still build back up slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
