Week 11... very windy

Time sure is flying by! With just 2 1/2 months until the Disney marathon, I'm starting to get a little nervous. I have sent in my recommitment paperwork to Team In Training, so there's no turning back now. I'm in it for the long haul!

Yesterday morning I was on my own for training. Our coach was in Chicago getting the fall team prepared for the Chicago marathon.

So Saturday morning, I was relieved to find that the rain was going to hold off long enough for me to run my scheduled 10 miles outside. And off I went.... and I quickly wondered why I had wanted to run outside, because it was so incredibly windy, I was just barely moving forward. I pressed on, though, knowing that eventually the wind would be at my back. Funny, it never really seemed to push me forward very much when it was at my back. But I pressed on and finished my 10 mile run.

Next weekend the schedule calls for 12 miles. Our coach will be back, so I'll have the added motivation of running with the team. Until then, happy running, friends! :)
