It's late November and I'm with my family on an island in MA. Typical weather for this time of year here is cold, windy and bitter. I step outside this morning to go get a cup of coffee and the sun is beaming down on my face. The temperature gauge in my car says 50 degrees. What? I walk toward the coffee shop and see a guy sitting outside on a bench with his dog wearing a huge grin. "Flip flops?" I ask, because this might be pushing it a little. He laughs, "on a day like today, I have no choice. This might be my last chance." I wasn't planning on running today but how can I possibly resist? It's just too good to be true. By the time I hit the road it's at least 10 degrees warmer and I'm sporting shorts and a t-shirt. I am giddy. I gotta believe no matter what kind of runner you happen to be, or even if you're not one, on a day like today, if you choose to go out, you're going to rock it. A day like this is so rare and such a treat. Or, as my brother-in-law said today, "it is a gem". Enjoy!
Listen to this:
Sleigh Bells - Treats (the album) 
(Note: since I missed Reader's Pick yesterday, I'm posting an entire album by a band that a friend of mine recently told me he loves. There's not a song on this one that isn't perfect for running. Thanks Craig.)
