Witch Way to 5k 2011

TIME 25:08. SAME AS BIB NUMBER!

Found my Bliss

Running my last 5 miler before race day, I had a beautiful tailwind coming off Long Island Sound here in CT, where I am visiting my mom. The clouds were heavy and ready to burst and the wind was causing white caps, but the air was cool and perfect for running.

First run of 2011

Well I did it! This morning I strapped on my garmin, bundled up for the 20 degree weather and ran six miles outside. This was my first outdoor run of the year and it felt great. I was slow (10min mile) but I finished with a clear head and much needed perspective.
I also did a little online shopping today and purchased The Runner's Field Manual: A Tactical (and Practical) Survival Guide by Mark Remy. I'm hoping it will give me a bit of insight into some aspects of running that confuse me. I'll update!

The first

Tomorrow morning I will get up at 5:45am and do my little ritual to get myself ready for my very fist half marathon.

SO nervous.

Details to follow.
