Training for Charleston Half

Real good run - not as good as last week but still very good and pretty fast for me - Met Birt, Meri Emily along with four other ladies - Birt and I ran together and the rest of the group ran with Meri and Emily - Birt and I had a good run but we went out a little too fast and were feeling it at about mile 5 - we just slowed a bit and it was OK - it was pretty cold and also very gloomy - I think the gloomy affected me some - just did not have the energy I did last week, Birt, Meri and Emily were feeling the same sort of thing - guess I am more Sun driven than I knew - feet were great so were my legs no pain no problems and we did a good speed - 10 miles again next week then 12 - 13 Christmas Eve or Christmas morning - I will be running solo Birt and Meri will be running Thursday with Emily - Birt videoed me running - I do not like what I look like when I run - it looks mostly like funny walking - it feels like running and is faster than my walking - I need to lengthen my stride to the back and increase my cadence - I believe if I can work on both of these it will increase my speed - I would really like to get to running a 10 or 12 minute mile - weight today was 295.4 pounds blood sugar was 94 -

Thursday Morning Run

Good run but man was it cold - my nose felt like a nose-cicle - Yes I ran outside - funny when I gave myself the choose of running the 'dread-mill' or running on a beautiful sunny but very cold day the outside run won hands down - I ran very well - no pain no problems - I was wearing two layer on my legs and three layers on my trunk and arms I also had a hood of my sweet shirt over my head and tied down tight - I was also wearing some winter mountain biking gloves everything except my nose and the backs of my legs was fine - may go to three layers on the legs -

Tir ra nOg run 22

This was a good but cold run - I dressed well and was fine out there but it was strange wearing three layers over most of me - I felt real good and was trying to push my pace and I think this is PR for me running this 5K route - I bought a Fuel Belt head lamp and it worked well - I am worried about the batteries it uses two of the flat 2032 type - I felt good out there - I did have some pain but noting major and nothing that last for long -
