Running into daylight savings time - 11/01-11/7/09

I ran just under 6miles today. Not a bad run & not a great one. For some reason I really struggled to keep my pace under a 10min/mi. That was a little annoying, but other than that it was a beautiful morning to be outside & I beat the rain so that was good.

It is fun to see what you ladies are choosing to do for your goal races next year. I am excited to track the progress, you did awesome this season!

Maggy & I have decided to be ambitious and try for a 100mile ultra August 2010! Right now a 50miler seems very doable, it's what happens after the 50 that I'm curious about. Needless to say, lots and lots of training to do!

You are awesome!!!

10.5 miles. I wanted to run long for my birthday. I backed off the pace a bit, even though I haven't started ramping up the mileage yet, and it felt really good, even the 25% grade that nearly killed me the last time I ran that route in August.

It's a perfect day, and when I got back, the propane truck was here and I got a hot shower! O frabjous day.

Happy Birthday, Oak!

Running five tonight...

SJCzar- Congrats on the 26.2!!! Somehow missed your report earlier. Sounds like you had a lot of fun.

Oak- Happy Birthday & great run!

I ran the 6miles home from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class tonight. It was such a beautiful day I knew night running would be great & it was! My layering was perfect, the VFFs rocked & it just felt like I was made to run. Gotta love runs like that! One thing I had forgotten over the summer was what it is like to get chilled once you are done running in the cooler fall weather. I definitely needed the hot shower.

In other news, my weekend trail running crew is growing! Looks like next weekend we will add 2 more warriors. We are planning to go super early & get a chance to use the headlamps again, not to mention hopefully avoid getting shot by people deer hunting. Don't worry I wear orange. I'm excited, but navigating trails in the dark is an adjustment. A necessary one though I'm sure.
