Running week of September 27-October 3

[GLC1968]

Did 3 mile run number 3 today. We drove to the next town to run on a MUP because it's too scary to run on the road I live on. My H actually came with me and ran with me. He's not a runner at all but he did well. I had to keep holding him back for the first half and then I was trying to speed him up/keep him going on the second half. We did an 11min/mile pace the whole time. He has no concept of pace. I noticed that each time we ran near other people, he sped up. Men!

I felt great though.

So much for perfect weather for Sat.'s 10k-- at race time, we had 20 mph winds, and it started to rain around mile 4... Still, I managed 55:57 on a hilly, windy course; 1st in my age group (there were 2 of us) and 4th among the women (just a few seconds out of 3rd!). We were out in the midst of horse farms, and some of the horses wanted to race, too. The llamas we passed just stared, though!

Way to go skhill!

I did 14.5. Tapering, and breaking in my new shoes. First time I've worn tights since the spring marathon.
