14K is LONG!

My long run today was 14K and my goodness, that's a long distance! I was ready to be done by the time I got home.

It didn't help that it was insanely windy and it seemed like we were always running right into the wind. But it was a good temperature (around 2 degrees) so at least I enjoyed that part of it.

Next Sunday is 16K... I'm a bit scared. (Of course, I should also keep in mind that I have a 21.1K in less than 2 months.)

I love this weather!

I never thought I'd be happy to see the cooler weather but I am so loving this weather. It was 4 degrees yesterday when I ran and 5 degrees today and it was WONDERFUL!

I didn't manage to do my long run on the weekend due to a very late night the night before but I got out and did it yesterday - 10K. Woohoo!! Another 6K (almost today).

Today was hard - it was my first day of hill training and it wasn't so fun. I managed to complete it but it wasn't fun like yesterday.

My clinic starts tomorrow night - yay!! I'm supposed to do 5K tomorrow but I have a concert tomorrow night so I'm only going to go for the talk part of the clinic. I'm hoping to get out of work early enough to get out for a run first though.

What an amazing race! Everyone who raved to me about this race was totally right! It was probably the most well-organized race I've ever done, the route was gorgeous and the lunch afterward was fantastic!

My goal was to beat my previous best 10K time, which was 1:06:39. I did it by more than 2 minutes!

It was a little chilly... about 2 degrees when we started and there was quite a breeze blowing which made it feel a few degrees colder. I was wearing capris, tank top and long sleeved shirt. The long sleeves came off at about the 5K mark and I was fine from there. The only thing I wished I'd brought with me was gloves/mittens. My hands were freezing for the first half of the race.

I'll definitely be doing this one again next year!
