When I woke up this morning, I was expecting a rainy day! Instead, it was low 40s, and just misty. Hmmmmmm, I might actually squeeze in another Virtual Half today! I was already running
Sara-Use it to Lose it's 5K but why not throw in a Half while I am at it? The hubs and I started the run with the pups, ditched the wee one after 3/4 mile and then shortly after the mile mark, I ran off on my own. The hubs isn't into long distances.
It was so dreary, but not too cold, and I was optimistic. Until mile 5. That is when the rain started. YUCK! I have an actual Half Marathon next Sunday, I was not going to risk getting blisters in the rain, so I texted the hubs to come and get me.
Not quite what I was hoping for, and I never got the chance to make up all of the time I lost when we had the wee pup with us, but not bad either.
The E Murray Todd Half Marathon is next week, and I look forward to the scenery, although I have heard it is very hilly. I ran Hershey though, so I am not too scared!
What are your plans for the weekend?
Good luck with your half next weekend and don't worry about cutting this one short. It happens!
ReplyDeleteHi.I just found your blog when I googled the E Murray Todd 1/2 marathon to see what others were saying about it. After looking at the long-range forecast, I registered over the weekend. I like your blog. I am also a half fanatic. As a fellow Jersey girl, I thought you would be interested in this virtual race for Restore the Shore that I just happened upon. The link is below.

Hi! I am actually running the Runapalooza Half, which is hosting the Virtual Race! SO nice to hear from a fellow Jersey Girl! I will be wearing my HF shirt and a yellow/orange running skirt this weekend, hope to see you there!!!
DeleteI haven't decided what I'm going to wear on Sunday, but I will look for you. I'm hoping I can break out the shorts.
ReplyDeleteI heard low 40s instead of 50s, hoping it hits the 50s though, I am tired of being cold!
