Based on this (and numbers from weeks past) I feel pretty good about a sub 5 marathon (even if it’s just barely). I regularly look at my totals every week and try and figure my marathon time based on my weekly training. I guess the true test will be when I have to run all those miles at ONCE!

I really want to work out with you! I need a workout buddy! Please text me/call me when you are working out! ~A.G
Hey, I miss you. Just saying. Also, I’m in need of a running trainer stat. Interested? ~B.P
One of my students direct messaged me on twitter and another wrote on my facebook.
I love messages like that. I’m going to be more intentional about directly inviting people to work out with me. I may even lead a 30 day shred challenge or something!
I have my 4th half marathon next week!
Today was my last long training run.
11 miles in 2:06:58.
11:28 average pace.
Quick shower then getting a mani/PEDI.
BOOM.
Tonight we FALL back. I do love the extra sleep, but I HATE the fact that there is less daylight for me to run in. I’ll file this under Runner Problems.
I dropped my car off for an oil change, etc after work. I packed gym clothes and changed at the dealership. There is a great bike path right near the dealership – that’s I’ve always noticed, but never explored. So I knocked out 3 VERY QUICK miles and enjoyed the beautiful fall foliage.
When a ton of you jumped on the RnR New Orleans race after that crazy Saints win, I was bummed about timing. However I realized my marathon training plans have 12 miles for that day. HMMMMMM – I could gingerly walk the first mile and then “run” the last 12. NOT RACE, just a training run.
Plus of one my IRL besties http://hotshotattorneyontherun.tumblr.com/ is thinking about doing it. Where’s that roll call list of who is running it. AND let’s hope the Saints wipe the floor with another team real soon!
It’s gross here weather-wise so I’m off to the gym for my first treadmill run in nearly a month! This will especially be no fun since I had the pleasure this week of doing 3.1 miles and 5 miles in beautiful weather in NOLA next to the Mississippi River.
Forgot to post this on Friday. This was the dress I bought 6 weeks ago (aka pre-breakup) to wear to Wiley’s brother wedding. I put the dress on Friday night to see how much better it fit now and to see just good I would have looked in it. I hope I have an occasion to wear it soon.
Being back in NOLA is awesome. Ran 3.1 miles along the Riverwalk this morning.
Between staying late at work, the drizzling rain, and how dark it was getting yesterday I put off my 10 miles until today. I’m glad I did because the weather was PERFECT. 10 miles in 1:57ish 11:46 pace.
Now I’m headed to NOLA.
Happy Halloween folks!
Do I run after work in the rain or get up early and run tomorrow when it’s supposed to be sunny before I drive to NOLA?
AND – Does anyone have good suggestions/tips for running in the rain (namely how to not mess up my ipod)?
iwillbefit- answered: put your ipod in a plastic bag?
lovinglifeandrunning answered: Do u have an armband? Mine was really good w/ protecting my iphone from the rain, only hold off until tomorrow if u for certain u’ll do it.Thanks for the responses. I AM going to run this afternoon. I know I would run tomorrow if I held off – but I don’t want to be exhausted before driving and then being in NOLA for a few days. I rather run tonight and SLEEP. I have an armband with a case, but I guess I’m just HELLA poor these days and I’ve have nightmares about EVERYTHING I own breaking/malfunctioning and my ipod is something I NEED. I looks like the rain is expected to roll in a bit later, but I’ll bring a plastic bag just incases (NAME THAT MOVIE).
