Got out for an 8.5 miler in the late morning today. I was unsure about doing the run at all because my lungs were feeling a little funny last night. Don't think I have caught my hubby's pneumonia yet. The weird chest feeling is something I've experienced before and it was nothing then.

My breathing was a bit tight to begin with on my run, but by mile 3 I felt completely normal and really strong. The temps were good, my layering was perfect & doing my route in reverse was refreshing.

I have made sure to get plenty of sleep lately and drink a lot of fluids so hopefully no pneumonia. I'll keep you posted on that.

Gotta admit it feels good to look at my training log this month. Lots of training checked off!

Crankin Try Teko brand wool socks, they are fantastic. It's all I've worn this winter and they have yet to fail me. They are as thin as their summer socks (which I also use).

Kelownagirl I think our feet get bigger the more we run! I used to be a 8.5 in every type of shoe and since I've been running not only have my trainers gotten to be a 9 but every other shoe as well.

I hope the larger size helps you with those shin splints. Ouchie!

Aggie Have I asked what distance race you are training for?

Good job getting your training runs in this week ladies, lets keep that going for next!
