Yesterday, I did about 8 miles. I don't officially start my marathon schede till the end if the month, but I'm not going to let up.
It was a glorious 46 here in Birmingham at 6am Saturday. By my tempature/clothes gauge chart, it was 46 so that fell in the "between 45-50", we were still in just a tech shirt and shorts. According to my chart, if there was a 10mph wind chill or higher, we drop to the 40-45 category which calls for shorts and a long sleeve tech shirt.
I know it is funny to have a chart by tempature of what to wear, but I was tired of guessing and over dressing 2 years ago.
Have a great Sunday.

Joel, you need to share that chart. 
It was about 50 when I launched today but it was sunny so shorts and long sleeve tech shirt was perfect. 5.22 miles at 11 minute pace. That is cruising for me! Felt awesome. No Zensahs, no knee support. Just free legs. I'm offically in marathon training so I'm even run-walking the short runs. Did not want to take all the walk breaks today.

I got in 2.5 miles on the TM last night. About 3/4 mile in, I had company of the rodent variety (unfinished basement) and it wasn't MICKEY. Creeped me out - but I stayed running. Hahaha

You know how they say that a marathon begins at Mile 20? I hear that the McN500 begins at Mile 400.
As for me, yesterday the hubby and I got deep tissue massages. I've had swedish massages before, but this tiny little old lady went to town on my back and shoulders to the point that today I feel like someone ran over my back with a truck! Thanksfully she didn't torture my legs so I was able to run 7 miles this morning although it was tough to pump my arms on the hills. After our massages yesterday we walked all the way from Canal Street along the Hudson River, along the High Line to 44th Street. For you non-NYC folks, it was about a 7 mile walk in beautiful Fall weather. Then we rewarded ourselves with dinner at Carmine's.

Haha! Love it! Exhausted from running and then driving the 2.5 hours home but I will write something tomorrow! I was able to finally meet the famous Coryna (fmingo) too! Yay! We totally missed each other today so no pics of that.
It's today, isn't it?
Short story...great race with lots of hills which I am not used too! I finished in 2:36:02. Not a PR but I am still happy with that! Details soon.

Sat was a 1,4,1. Easy, 7:04, easy. Sunday was 20mi at 8:49. I suppose its a good thing when your muscles don't hurt at all. But yet other parts of your body do.......

Yeah, that looks pretty good. I think my only change up would be tossing in sleeves at the 40-45 instead of the long sleeve shirt.

Aaaargh! I so wanted to be there and meet/run with you guys! Can't wait to hear more details from you and Coryna.
I hope someone ate a Hershey s'more for me in the fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies they make them in the park (instead of graham crackers) - I still have dreams of those. lol

OK now you've completely destroyed me. Caramellos are my favorite candy bar in the whole world. Sigh.
Yes, someone please tell me next year when sign-ups for this begin.
