After yesterday's soul-defeating 6 miles on the treadmill, the weather conspired today on cool temps, a little sun and not much wind, so I had an energizing 11.2 mile long run! Happy happy. Joy joy!

First HM today! Had a great time! My daughter decided to run with me, instead of going for her goal. She had been sick for about 8 days and hadn't been able to train for 2 weeks so she didn't want to go for her goal. Plus she said it might be the only time we can run one together. Because next time she'll be going for a goal. It was so great being with her the whole way!
The weather was perfect - like KristineGifts's weather - cold in the morning but low 50s with a breeze/wind most of the way. I didn't push myself -- just slow and steady -- with most miles being 10-11. I felt really great at the end. It wasn't one of those feelings of like "wtf? - where's the finish?" but more of I DID IT!!! This was a Run Like a Diva run and I think they do a great job. Champagne at the end, medals given out by hunks, lots of snacks, lots of support throughout the whole thing.
@kristinegift -- congrats! What an amazing time!!!
@patrikc333 - the owner didn't even apologize? wth
@dennie24 - what an adorable picture! Love HP! I read that the military is working on an invisibility cloak. Seriously!

During training I ran 11+ miles on trails and never had an issue with chaffing. I did set out the Glide (just in case), and forgot to use it. Road running-your (my) thighs rub with each step.... By the end of the race I had bloody thighs... Thankful for large band-aids, neosporin and advil.
Overall my first HM was superb. Perfect weather and good company the first 3 miles, Thanks Yvonna wherever you are.
There were some timing issues. I was told my chip time was 2:23:50, my Garmin says 2:22:23. I'll assume that may be due to the additional distance in a sanctioned race. Garmin says race was 13.37. Really neither here nor there on the time. Very happy. Next year, Ill be faster. Without bloody chafed thighs. Sorry I secretly laughed at all the guys with sore nips...We're even now.

@ddmom0811 Sounds like a great day! congratulations on the PR! I hit mile 10 and was wondering where the finish was- My thighs were on fire! LOL!0 -
10/4 -- 1.90mi of a leisurely walk with Marla and baby girl. Quads are killing me from 30DS but surprisingly running helps.
Looking forward to Tuesday's run.
@kristinegift - great job and fab pics.0 -

@ddmom0811 - Nice job on your HM too! Great time! (I say that since my PR is just under 3hrs )
@Elise4270 - lots of HMs this weekend - awesome job and great time!
@patrikc333 - Ouch! Hope you're okay
10/3 - 7 miles (ish), GPS quit on me but calculated using fitbit steps
10/5 - 2 miles, managed to get myself up early enough to run before going to work. It was a dark, warmer-than-I-expected-but-not-bad 2 mile run

Survived the bachelor party, and got in a longer run with my Sunday morning crew early today. Also got in some speedwork yesterday as I hadn't done much work at pace in a while. Definitely need to resume that, even if I have to sacrifice some of my mileage.
10/1 - 7 miles
10/2 - 8.5 miles
10/3 - 4 miles (pace run at 1/2 marathon speed)
10/4 - 9 miles
Total: 28.5 miles
Goal: 170 miles
Remaining: 141.5 miles0 -

Did a super lazy three miles with Willow today. Sniff and run. I'm ready for a rest day tomorrow, and shocked that I'm saying that.
@shanaber Hobbes looks right at home on the trail!
@Elise4270 Your poor thighs, ouch!
@kristinegift You've got some good friends; nice of them to come and support and super nice to make sure you had some great race photos!
