Half Marathon Training: Week 10

This week went pretty well except that I skipped my long-ish mid-week run. Things just got busy and I had no time to fit it in. C'est la vie. On the bright side, I've only skipped two days of training in the ten weeks so far, so I'm pretty proud of that!


My 11 mile long run this week went so much better than the 10 miler two weeks ago. I got outside early and it was in the 50s/low 60s through the whole thing. I was starting to get frustrated about how hard it felt, but then I asked myself, why should it feel easy? I've never run that far or that long before, why do I think it's going to feel nice and easy and pleasant? It's supposed to be hard!

It's about time to start looking for some more cold weather gear. My main list right now consists of: ear warmer, gloves/mittens, some kind of tech fleece pants, warmer socks, and probably a running jacket before too long. Hellllooooo, xmas presents! Any recommendations for good running clothes for the cold?

Speaking of cold weather, fall and pumpkin everything are officially here and these bagels are delicious. Seriously, go out and buy some.

See, I told you fall was here.

Less than two weeks left until the half from the time I'm typing this! I'm starting to get a little nervous :X
