Morning pens!
Heading out for a few rainy miles soon, going away party this afternoon where I will consume beer and snacks and be merry.
11 with 4 at MP yesterday - mile warmup, ~8:48 average for the MP block right before meeting up with my club and felt great, the remaining 6 with club were easy effort and mid-9's for pace so I'm super happy with that!
Penguin Power!
LRB - all of my shoes are the same, but I'll go with my "blue" pair which should have about 80 miles on them as of marathon morning. Ride 6 is where it is at. I have kinvara 5s too but I haven't done anything long in them at all.
Today DH has expressed interest in running with me, so probably something really short with him later. Maybe I'll do 3 and then meet him for a bit more. He hasn't really run in months since the half marathon disaster. He's maybe run 10 miles in total since May.
Upcoming Races: Run as One 4M (4/24) * Japan Run 4M (5/8) * Brooklyn Half (5/21)
Ride 6 is where it is at.
Word.
Good luck to hubby.

I waited on my run until the sun started to come out mid-afternoon. I like getting glimpses of sunshine and blue sky on an otherwise wet day. It ended up being 11.4 miles. I had intended to go to the mountains and run one of the forest roads so I could do some leaf peeping, but didn't especially want to do it in the mud. There were some groves of trees behind the fields, so I got some pretty color.
Lauren - I hope your run went well. Yesterday's sounds like a really good one.
Jill - I hope your run with DH was a good one. Is he feeling a bit envious of your upcoming marathon?
Jerry - those leaves can be slippery, especially if there are acorns underneath.
Margo - congratulations on toughing it out until it became easier.
Ginny, I've been doing extra stuff for weight watchers because I'm training to be a leader. For the last 3 years, I've only been a receptionist.
Brilliant, how did the race go? I've ran a 10 miler twice, and it felt much more like a HM than a 10k. I hope that you had a good race!
Ginny, it was dry today, but it is difficult in some places to see the center line or the edge of the asphalt path.
