Thursday, November 5

I ran just a smidge over two miles. It was a nice easy run. I also got to try out my new shoes, which I really like. They should be nice and broken in for my big run on Thanksgiving.

My next run will be on either Saturday or Sunday and it will be four miles. I am excited to get that distance under my belt. I am purposely going to pick an easier course so that I do not get discouraged. My two mile run today is one of the hardest since it has two insane hills, but happily I was able to run up both of them. I might have been going at a snails pace, but I did it and was able to pick up speed a the top of them. I know that the mega hills are good for me, but they can be so hard.

So after my five mile race coming up, I need to start thinking about what I want to do next. Henry is running his marathon February 28. Besides that distance, there is also a 10k and a half marathon. I know that I will be fine with running the 10k, since that is equal to about 6 miles. The half scares me though. I might just save my first half for next fall. I know that I will be okay to run that then and the Applefest half was really scenic and they have some great goodies and a cool finisher medal.

Here is where the run is:
