Just in time I went and got some winter running gear on Wednesday. I got a long sleeve shirt, a jacket, an ear band and an awesome Nike sports bra that makes me feel all speedy and athletic. I'm told that this will do for all but the coldest days. I'll still need another layer for when it's bitter out, but this is good for now. Somehow I managed to forget sunglasses, gloves and a backpack!
I got to try out all my new gear last night when I went running in the rain. I thought it would be a miserable run but I was really tweaking for it, so I went out anyway. It turned out to be incredible! I ran 3 sets of 9 minutes a piece. The last one, I decided to see how fast I could comfortably go, while maintaining and not sprinting. IT FELT GREAT!!! I felt SO fast. It was exhilarating! I got home feeling like I could have kept going, not exhausted. I seriously can't wait to get back out there.
It's going to be a busy weekend. I'm meeting a friend and his partner for brunch tomorrow, meeting my sister for birthday drinks tomorrow night and then having my nephews and sisters for a spooky brunch on Sunday. I'm going to try to bake tomorrow afternoon.
I'll try to take pics of brunch. I'm making witches finger cookies, jack o'lantern pumpkin pancakes, apple bites, mummy English muffin pizza and possibly witches brew parfait. I'm really looking forward to it! I like getting all creative with food.
The game plan for this weekend:
Friday: 3 reps 10:1
Saturday: early a.m. run not sure how long
Sunday: long evening run at least 5 miles, not sure how many reps that'll take. Might have to walk more.
