So I have not made it running every day in Nov., but at least I have ran.
I started Nov. 1st off with an 8 mile run. My last "training" run before I left for Wisconsin to run a half marathon. I did get in a 3 mile run on Friday so I could figure out how to dress for that temperature. It felt pretty good. So on Sat.was the 1/2 marathon, sponsored by a Brewery. It started at 11:30, probably to take advantage of the warmer part of the day. I was way undertrained, it was windy, cold (for me) and hilly. First half of the course was very hilly. I thought if I made it in 2:30 (for not training) I would be doing pretty good. My legs felt OK, but started out too fast for my cardio. Then mile 7 my right foot, ball area, base of my toes started hurting...really bad!. I did the last 6 miles doing the walking/running wounded shuffle. It was a pretty course, but I was hurting a bit too much. But I did finish and managed a 2:34 time. And the beer & food was great! And we had friends waiting in the warm tent for us.
The next day I did a really slow easy 3 miler just to keep from getting stiff. So I have run 4 times thus far this month. Heading out later today to run in the FL warmth!
Good job everyone on your runs!
