I’m still chugging along, trying to get myself up to be able to run the Monumental Half Marathon on November 6.
This past Saturday I managed to run 7 miles. It was raining in the morning so I waited until 12:30 or so to start the run, after the rain had stopped. It was overcast and cool, mid 50’s or so, which made it nice. I got to my turn around point and thought I’d missed the rain. When I was about 2 miles from home the rain started back up and by the time I was a mile away it was a pretty good downpour. Actually didn’t feel too bad, but I got myself thoroughly soaked. Oh well.
Tonight was a quick 3.5 mile “short loop”. Small amounts of pain in my lower legs. Oh well.
The shoes I ran my first half in were the Brooks Adrenaline ASR6. I had problems with the Adrenaline 10 and am in the Ravenna’s right now. Well, Brooks has/had the ASR6 on closeout and I’m thinking about ordering a couple pair because I liked them so much.
Oh, and I think I’ll also be going to the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in Las Vegas. I’ve booked the room already.
