Run Log: November 2014

Here Comes December!  Winter has been here for a while now, at least it's sure felt like it.  Yesterday's 14 mile run was brutal ~ the temperature wasn't so bad, around 30 degrees, and the wind wasn't horrible ~ but I never got warm.  Ever.  My fingers were non-functioning sticks when we finished.  It was hard to take off my clothes to get in the shower.
Then today, it's in the 60's.  But, I know this won't last!
Run Club has run in snow & really high winds this month.  And we've decided that Monday we will pack our run gear and make a game time decision each week.  We have a pretty solid core of 4 people & it's a lot of fun.

November Totals:

133.47 miles for the month {WOW}
1069.8 miles for the year 

581.92 miles for my blue Brooks Glycerin 12 ~ Whoa ~ that's a lot of miles.  Good think I'm going to Ladies Night at Second Sole on Wednesday to buy me a new pair of kicks!

Training for:  The Cleveland Marathon on May 17, 2015  {my 20 week plan starts 12/29...but I'm already running like it's 10 weeks out.  Going to keep it here for the next 8 to 10 weeks}

My WEIGHT:  So, I guess I lost a little bit.  Didn't want to get on that scale this morning, but I did with my clothes and glasses on {swear that adds some}  137.6... I don't know what to say about that as I just eat whatever & don't really stop & don't really plan to.  I'd LIKE to be a couple of pounds less...and not have this roll around my middle...but I don't really want to DO anything about it.

Some interesting facts:

Longest run this month: 14.13...and I was sore after.  It was GOOD to feel run sore; it has been a while.
Favorite place to run this month: The Turkey Day 5k, when we turned onto the bike path & everything was covered with snow & the runners were just plowing through it.  It was beautiful
# of books I read this month: Three
Monthly mileage record: 155.46 ~ August 2013!  WOW
