A Hot Fall Run
Its official, fall is here! I saw a bunch of leaves falling this morning during my run, but ironically the weather was hot and humid. It was muggy as I headed out for my run, the temp said 63 but it felt like 80! It was in the 70s by the time I finished. After drinking one too many beers on Friday night I was unsure of how my run today would go. Thankfully I hydrated well and rested yesterday, so I felt 100% fine (despite humidity) during my run! Garmin Stats Total Distance – 11.5 Miles Total Elapsed Time – 1:53:14 Average Pace – 9:50/mile My splits, for my…

Apples and a Long Run
Saturday, the day before the Tour de Habitat, I knew I had to get a long run in or else. My next half marathon is in less than two weeks! The past few weeks have been super busy the last time I ran over 10 miles was three weeks ago. Every summer my pace suffers. I feel slower. And every year I blame myself, when in reality, I need to blame the weather. Enter 40 degree fall temperatures. Perfect running weather. I went to a local bike path and ran 10 perfect miles and felt great the whole time…I was fast (for me at this time) and I felt like I…

11 Turned to 7
I am taking a long weekend off from work this weekend for the holiday. Hurray! So I moved up my long run yesterday morning. I wanted to do 11 miles, but my legs were just not feeling it. My hips were tight and my muscles were still sore from a hot yoga session I did on Wednesday night. So, I stopped at 7.0 miles, which isn’t too bad either. I spy leaves on the ground! Almost autumn. 🙂 The run was pretty uneventful since the trail was pretty dead on a weekday morning. I ran 7.0 miles in 1 hour and 9 minutes. Some mile splits, for my own benefit,…

10.5(ish) & XOXO Brunch
This morning Chris and I headed to the bike path to do a long run. I really don’t have to start training for my next half marathon (in October) but I want to keep my long run distance up. We started running and after about two minutes my Garmin’s battery died (go figure). It was kind of nice not to worry about time though, I just ran by feel and I felt great. 🙂 We kept track of our miles by the mile markers on the path from the Mohawk Hudson Marathon! We ran out and back at least 3.5 miles, took a break for water and Gu, and then…

Speedy Six
I headed to the gym today with a planned 5.0 miles and to work a few quick miles in there during the run. My plan today's run looked like this: 8x400 at 5K pace (which for me right is 8:41/mile) Now, I wasn't sure if this meant
