Piper and I are more compatible running partners than I thought. Our pace the past five runs has been perfect for me.
And I asked Piper today what temperature is too cold for her to run in. She said, "Below zero." I was very pleased. We'll be running together through the winter!
However, I have noticed my increase in mileage last week. I am more tired during the day. It will probably take a couple weeks to get use to it. I'd like to throw in some tempo runs and strides. But, I think I'll work on the mileage for right now. Probably after the Barber to Boise 10k, I start those workouts. | | Add Comment |

Will, Vince, and I ran down to Vince's orthotics appointment. The helmet fetting went okay. At first the helmet went too far down--covering his eyes. Tonight it still seems like it's too low on his left eye. I'll call tomorrow.
As for the run, both boys enjoyed it. And I felt great too.

I know I said that I wouldn't do tempo runs for a while. Well... I changed my mind. I kept it short. So here's the brief report.
8:50--At first I didn't know if I was going to do both miles, but I kept going. When it felt tough, I'd try to relax. That helped. I don't think my paced dropped when I did that.
8:40--I was surprised how even my run felt. Again like the first mile, I'd tell myself to relax--focusing on my tight shoulders.
It felt good to increase the pace for these 2 miles. I really enjoyed the heron at the turn around. The river was beautiful. And I loved the crisp weather. | | Add Comment |

| It was colder this morning. Wore a beanie. I loved how crisp the morning felt. I was talking about all the pumpkin treats I'd like to make over the next two months: pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin frenchtoast. Well, we'll see if I really make all of that. Anyway, it was great talking to Piper during the run. I learned more about the adventures of being an ENT (ears, nose, and throat) nurse. | | Add Comment |

| I ran with Piper again. I love the high you get from running in cooler weather. It was a lovely 44 degrees. We ran the library route. | | Comments(1) |
