Running Week of 10/05-10/10

Wow Urlea, 15 minutes (>1 minute faster pace), that's incredible!!! Way to go! How do you feel?

I was just thinking yesterday that the bright side of my being undertrained for my first 13.1, is that whatever I do will be my PR, and the slower it is, the easier it will be to beat it next time.

How you feeling Susan? This is probably coincidence, but I got some black elderberry extract, and literally after the second dose my cold started clearing up. Might be something to try.

I know which top I want to wear, but I haven't settled on bottoms yet.

I have no idea what I'm going to wear, need to check the weather forecast later on in the week, but you reminded me of a woman I saw in the LRS a month ago trying to buy clothes for the same event and asking the people what the weather was going to be. Predict the weather in October in Ohio, five weeks out?! I had to turn around so she wouldn't see me laughing.

Oak - thanks for asking! I'm not 100%. Maybe 90? I did a 55 mile ride on Saturday. Was supposed to be 75, but there was no zip in my zoom, so I cut it short. Ran an hour this morning and took it easy. Fortunately, the itchy scratchy feeling in my throat has evaporated. I think now I just need to get enough sleep this week and I should be fine. I'm glad to hear that you're getting better as well!!

I did 10 easy yesterday, in my old orthotics. I think it's too soon to try a long run in the new insole configuration, unfortunately.

My pace for the 10 was just about exactly double the winning pace for the Chicago marathon.
