@marisap2010 - Way to tough it out! Sometimes the slower runners have a harder race because they're still on the course when the faster runners are stretching, eating, and sheltered from the weather. It's a bigger deal in heat than rain, but it's still very real with the rain. My "mostly overcast and a little rain" race became your "mostly rainy" race."
It can also go the other way; at Oak Tree Half, I passed an early start runner at about mile 11. He had an hour of cooler weather and more shade before I started.4 -
Way to go @marisap2010 !0

Finished with my first ever half yesterday. Not an official race, just down lake Michigan and back. It had been a goal of mine this year and it feels great to get it done.
13.1 on the 30th gives me 82.4 of 80.15 -

2.5km done last night - on a dreadmill looking at an incredibly boring grey wall in the gym, after spinning. New trainers and new socks... Trainers were worn on Monday with no problems, socks too big so kept moving in my shoe so I've got a few rubs this morning, not blisters but nearly! You'd think a thing like socks would be a simple matter! also having issues with underwear... Like are all my clothes just out to get me?!
Have set a target of 1st December to do my first 5km park run!
I think a lot of runners go commando... I can’t bring myself to join the club. I found a pair of tech underwear on Fabletics website. They work well for my long runs.

Life has gotten in the way and I haven't been able to keep up with all of the posts or run like I had planned. So, Sept was another fail on meeting my goal, but today is another day and I'll do all that I can in Oct. You all are an inspiration to me.
@marisap2010 Woo Hoo! Congratulations on your first marathon completion!
@ KWKirkbride Congratulations on your first Half! You guys are awesome!

October 2018 Monthly Running Challenge

No way, September can't be over already!! ... Oh well, I guess it really is? I need to run more in October than in September. I only came up with a little more than 120km.
On the bright side, I'm quite happy that I managed to stick to my strength training goals.
But my long in September were all rather short, only around 12~13km. I was fed up with getting up early to beat the heat, because that shouldn't be necessary in September! But it would have been, so due to starting way to late, always had to draw the line after 90 minutes, because it was way too hot in the sun.
At least that should be better in October - we had a huge drop in temperatures, looks like autumn is finally here. So off into a better, colder running month it is now!3 -
Sadly I fell short of my 20 miles goal for Sept. with only 17.72. But that's okay, because Sept was better than Aug, and I know Oct will be better than Sept6
