      You should also ensure your socks don't have a hole in them, just in case. 

       

      LOL Big grin

        Speaking of wet, I ran 8 in my new 1/4 zip wool top and came back DRENCHED!

         

         

         

        Wut?! Your wool 1/4 zip isn't doing its job!

          After 6 months of mostly mocking me, my watch indicated after my run today that my VO2 value increased for the first time since back in June ( now at 53). Not that I take much stock in anything the stupid thing shows, but it beats being told I suck for weeks and months on end...

           

          LOL, classically, after your goal race. Oh those damn watches.

            20 miles! with 4-3-2-1 at 9:30 down to 9:10 pace (MP=9:20?). RP bailed last night so I was on my own. Temp was 54 at the start and 64 at the end so perfect, although I could have used a cloud or two. Overall, wasn't horrible and also not amazing. I hit all the paces but it definitely took more effort than I would have liked. That means I'm doing it right?

             

             

             

            I finally went and got a grand piano for the house (and for me). I am so rusty but OMG I bought a beauty. Pics later.

             

            You're both doing it right.

                 That’s like uncharted territory for you, is it not?

                 

                5 miles squeezed in before the rains come.

                  A little too well it seems. It was sunny and I got hot under it. At 26 degrees (30 at the finish) I usually run in a long sleeve tech top with a singlet underneath it. I wanted to see what would happen in those conditions though so no biggie.

                    Yes, mon-sun has been 50-54. LR is usually Sat but HM was sunday last week.

                     

                    And I am constantly hungry. Came home this morning to a stack of green chocolate chip pancakes, as requested by the kid. I'll eat anything after 20 miles.

                      Ah! But wool is supposedly magical and keeps you warm when it's cold and keeps you cool when it's warm. It's kind of a smart magical fabric!

                              It's got an odd sense of humor that's for sure.

                               

                              Other than feeling like my breathing feeling out of whack though, my legs feel great.

                                 about the mileage, and about not feeling fresh, that's the price to pay.
