Running

Ran another 5k today, with some friends in halloween costumes (and a jogging stroller). Lots of fun, definitely walked a bunch and for that reason (and because it was just for fun) I am not worried about my very slow time. It was also through a VERY hilly neighborhood, so it's a good workout even if you're walking. We talked about signing up for the half marathon in April. That means a 12 week training program will start on January 23rd and I am completely unsure about my ability (and desire) to do that much running in the worst of the St. Louis winter. I absolutely HATE winter, hate the ice, hate the cold that takes your breath away. And I don't have the budget for fancy clothes and gear to actually survive that kind of weather. We'll see.

In the meantime, I'm looking forward to the next 5k and hope to really run it, trying to get my best time yet. If I can get myself to an 11 minute mile I'll feel pretty good about that.

And yeah, definitely going to need some new shoes soon.
