Daylight savings

Today we pushed back the clocks an hour for daylight savings (apparently we’re a week ahead of the U.S. this year). While the extra hour of sleep last night was great, and it was nice to wake up with natural light outside, I’m definitely not ready for complete darkness by 5:30pm. As if the frigid temperatures aren’t enough of a reminder that winter is upon us, the early sunsets will now be rubbing it in on a daily basis as well.

The Lausanne marathon also took place today. While the thought of running a marathon is somewhat appealing to me (albeit solely to be able so say that I successfully completed one), doing so on a cold October morning is another story. With morning temperatures in the 30s, I’m sure there were a lot of runners who would have preferred to stay in bed. Does this look like comfortable running weather to you...
