| It was a beautiful morning for a run. After sleeping in, I was out the door with my music. I wasn't sure how tired my legs would feel after running 20 yesterday, but they felt alright. I definitely felt some fatigue, but not enough to slow me down much. I told myself that I would listen to my body regarding the distance, but I felt good enough to run 7 and did. I also broke in a new pair of running shoes this morning. It felt good to run in my new Nike Zoom Structure Triax 14's.

| Since I didn't have to be at my sub job until 10:00 am, i decided to sleep until 6 and then go to the gym. My only mistake here was that I forgot that they were painting the gym. Even with the doors open, it was hard not to notice the fumes. It made my run a bit interesting. I was happy to complete 7, increasing the pace every couple of miles or so, and then increasing every 1/4 of a mile during the final mile. I felt a tad tired, but overall I was good. |

| Since I knew that I was only working a partial day, I chose to run after work. From a timing standpoint this worked out well, unfortunately, my legs didn't really care for it. My legs felt heavy for the first half and I am assuming that the headwind that I was encountering did not help the situation. The temperature had also dropped a good 10 degrees since this morning, and included overcast skies. By the time I finished I did start to feel a tad looser. |

| Since I had an appointment at 9:30 this morning, I decided to get up at 6:00am and go to the gym with my husband. The paint smell wasn't nearly as bad as it was on Tuesday. I felt a bit sluggish for the first few miles, not feeling really loose until at least the halfway point. Maybe they were tired from working out yesterday afternoon. I was happy to get the distance in as I wasn't sure how long I would have there since I was on my husband's schedule. Needless to say, I am happy that I did it. I also sent in my registration for the marathon this afternoon. I guess this means that I am doing it.

| I decided to take my dog with me today since he really needed the exercise. Unfortunately, he seemed a little pooped after mile one. He seemed to get his groove back after a short walk break. When I came back, I then took my other dog for her first walk, since her surgery almost two weeks ago.

| The winter clothes had their coming out party today. Temperatures were in the upper 30's when we got started. The gloves, warmer earband and tights were all on and necessary. I also wore my new running shoes for the first time on a long run. Everything went fine. My friend stayed with me for the first 12.2 miles and then I finished up the final 2.8 on my own. I didn't focus much on pace or time. I felt good the whole time, outside of a runny nose, which coincides with cold weather running for me.
