Running out of January...1/24-1/30 runs

[Grog]

Been stuck in bed most of the week with a bad cold & wisdom teeth trying to make a come-back (ouch!) so I didn't get a lot of mileage in prior to my long run today. With cough drops & kleenex in hand I joined my ultra-running comrades for 22miles of very hilly country roads. Surprisingly the cold didn't hold me back that much, a few sections there I told the hills who was boss, really good run. Video is up on my blog.

Wow, you're my hero. If I had been sick all week, I would have chickened out on the 22-miler. Wow!

Great job Oakleaf.

Urlea- Get better, I can't believe you toughed it out for a run.

My Mom and Dad took me for my early birthday present today to get my running shoes. It was a really cool experience and the shop definitely deserves their nearly 5-star Yelp rating. I ended up with Brooks Adrenaline GTS10 after trying about 15 different pairs of shoes. My mom also bought me a Nathan bottle to try, a running visor and some new socks to complete my gift. I am really excited about my run tomorrow!

YEAH oaK!

Congrats on the new shoes Aggie!

All is well here, I had a 9 miler wednesday and a 12 miler with 4 miles of speedwork at the end yesterday. It was a little mentally painful, because I did it on the treadmill (bad weather), but I managed my way through it.

Started seeing a sports nutritionist this week to help me figure out fueling for IM training....she was awesome, and also a triathlete/runner.

Happy running!

Hey kacie... if you are still in Atlanta, GA... I know of the best 1/2 marathon mountain trail race held in May. It's up in Summerville, GA. I have gone to it 3x myself. My friend holds the race... she lives near Summervile. It's called TwistedAnkle... it's an awesome 1/2 marathon or full marathon in the mountains. You'd love it!!

but you must register soon, as it does fill up.
