THE BIG FIVE-OH (DAY 75)

The Big Five Oh.
No, it's not my birthday (that's next month, and besides, I am one year beyond the Big Six Oh)
Today the Big Five Oh refers to the FIFTY POUNDS of fat that have been liberated from my body...
...and all it took was 75 days of dedication.

I guess 'winter' has arrived.
According to the calendar, we are in the third week of autumn.
Halloween is still nearly 3 weeks away.
Earlier this week, on Monday, I was struggling in the 90° heat.
That was then.
The temperature in Chicago was in the 40's when I set out for a hike on Friday.
I was wearing my favorite goofy winter hat.
I was wearing my long warmups and wearing gloves.
And when I returned home, I had logged eleven miles.
