    First half marathon completed! WOOT!

    It did not snow as much as the forecast called for, but I'm not complaining at all.

    What a feeling as I approached the finish line!!!

    I was being nice and responding to people passing by me who finished and were leaving during the last mile when they would cheer me on, and I would congratulate them. As I was leaving though...was I ever cheering on the people I was passing! Funny how that works.

    I need to figure out something different for what I wear when running in the cold though. The last two cold runs I have done I started out fine, even getting rather warm about 3-4 miles in and vent the zipper to cool off a bit. Then around mile 5 starting to feel a chill and zipping back up, but staying cold really. By mile 9 it just gets downright cold and actually seems a lot harder to run.

    11/2 - 12.19 miles
    11/6 - 12.25 miles
    11/15 - 13.1 miles

    7.3mi on the trails, 800+ft of climb and 15 degrees. The frosty grass crackled as I ran :) Winter running means more trail for me. Will be putting 3-5 more miles on tonight to recover from the hills.

    103.6mi done - 111.4mi/15d remaining.

    Congratulations on your first half marathon! I would recommend acclimating yourself more for the next time's conditions... I notice you ran only twice in the two weeks leading up to the half, both long runs. Not sure why you did that, but I'd incorporate a few more short distance, easy runs to stay loose during your taper period. Training runs = more time to experiment with clothing, fueling, etc.

    It's been cold here too, but even though i have asthma, as long as I keep my lungs warm, I find I run a lot better when it's cold. So, rather breezy, cold 7.5 miles today. I feel like i could be running higher mileage now, but the stroller is out of the question for pm running (too dark) and i haven't been able to fit longer ones into my weekend due to scheduling. Grrr!!

    11/02/2014 26.2 miles
    11/07/2014 3.2 miles
    11/08/2014 5.3 miles

    11/11/2014. 5.5 miles (with stroller)

    04/11 - 10.11km
    07/11 - 10.11km
    09/11 - 13.13km!! :D Longest run ever!!!
    12/11 - 8.78km
    14/11 - 10.11km
    16/11 - 11.11km

    My first sub-60 minute 10km!! Admittedly my weekday 10km runs have a 2 km-ish section of up-hill and todays run was a flat route so can't really compare the times, but I'm stoked all the same!! :)
    And I shaved 20 seconds off my average pace today! It was a good run.....had a smile on my face during the walk back home :smiley:

    With the colder weather coming next week, I'm going to try to buy some more winter gear this weekend. As a new runner, I'm struggling trying to figure out how many layers I will need for each run. It was 46 and sunny when I left this morning. The long sleeve base layer shirt and shorts were perfect. Next week it's forecast to be in the 30s in the morning...I'm thinking a thin running jacket as another layer...I'm worried about having too many clothes than not enough....any advice?

    2 layers sounds good for in the 30's with no wind, one layer on the bottom (I wear running tights). If it's windy, I'd add another layer on top.

      Pretty cold stroller run this morning, 30F. The girl was toasty with her ski mittens, hat, down jacket, fleece lined pants and blanket. I was fine running in capris and a long sleeve shirt, but i did catch a chill in my lungs while getting the girl situated so my asthma was not happy. When that happens I just have to run slower.
