Running Into Fall (but, not falling!)

[kacie tri-ing]

Hello!

After most of two weeks off of running dealing with hip pain, I ran a half marathon this morning! I felt great! I actually walked the first 1.5 miles just to warm up my hip....it was early and cold. Then I was planning on alternating running/walking, but I felt so good that I could not stop

Feeling great afterwards, but I am going to be cautious and take care of myself all day!

I hope you all have wonderful weekend running!


Oh! We got back to our condo and one of our neighbors said,"it is beautiful out, you should both go out on your bikes today!" I just smiled, and DH said,"well, she just finished a half marathon, so i think she's set for the day." hehehehe

Enjoy!

My runs are very small compared to most of you, but for me, they're excellent. This morning I did a 3-mile trail run (in 33 minutes, a great time for me) and felt great. The temp was 55 and sunny, and I found that shorts and a thin, long-sleeve base layer top were plenty to wear -- I'm having to retrain my thinking after being used to bundling up so much more for cool-weather cycling. I heat up so much when running, and of course am not creating the wind that I do when riding, so cooler temps = much better runs!
