Misty morning....

It was beautiful this morning! Did the usual Saturday morning run with the Little Rock Marathon Group.....I love the locations they use for training. Today was out at 2 Rivers Park, near Maumelle park. I had never been out that way before. The temperature was a little chilly, but just perfect once I got warmed up. I did wish that I had brought some light gloves, however, cause even when I warmed up, my fingers stayed cold and stiff. Anyway, as the bright red sun came up over the misty farmland, it was so serene and beautiful. Much of the run I was by myself. The group was mostly 3-miler's doing the half buildup and 6 miler's doing the marathon buildup, so the few of us doing longer runs went in a different direction. I figured I better do a few weeks of 7 miles on my long run, and maybe a few weeks of 8 miles before I am in step with the whole group. The route ended up being 7.2 miles, but i didn't time myself this morning. I think it was around an hour and five minutes.

I tried one of my new C9 Target running skirts, and this one "stayed put" much better! It is a bit shorter than I'd prefer, but I still like it. It definitely doesn't chafe the legs, which is awesome. I did, however, get to experience the infamous (ahem) , nipple chafing that I've heard people talk about....

Still having a hard time getting my running in while up in Harrison. Only 4 more weeks up there and I'm ready to get back into a routine at home. I guess I will have to get a gym membership for one month, just to use the treadmill.... I can tell the lack of running during the week is really doing me in on the weekends as my long runs are getting longer.....
