Wow and Whew!

The last week of running has been pretty amazing!

Two Saturday’s ago I participated in a 47K relay. I was one of four people running a 2.2 mile circuit. The four of us ran the 47K (which is a marathon) in 3:22:47, not bad! It was quite cold and I learned a lot about how to keep the body and muscles warm while waiting 45 minutes between running the 2.2 mile loop. Plus I made some new friends and got to hang out with people I haven’t seen in a while!

After the relay, I was feeling great about running, so I decided to go out and run some more. I ended up running 12.5 miles that day in total and I felt great about it too!

This past week, I ran a total of 20 miles, with my longest run EVER (11 miles) happening on a cold and rainy morning. I’m now in a couple weeks of lesser mile running until the Half-Marathon on November 3rd.

Now, the wait begins for the 13.1.

Oh, I got some new shoes too!
