So, as the days get colder and shorter, waking up at 6:30 am for an 8 am run becomes more and more odd. This morning, I woke up and it could have been 2 am. But it was not. Oh no. The talk radio blaring out as my alarm told me differently, and I only allowed myself to hit the snooze button once (erm... twice.)
It's also super-cold. I've been rocking the new Brooks Vapor Dry2 pants (yes, they have fleece on the inside of the derrière) and that has been great, but I'm lacking in appropriate shirts/tops. Luckily, a few of my Team Challenge-ers and I went to Potomac River Running yesterday to use our Groupons. I am the proud new owner of the coziest cold-weather running shirt in the history of cold-weather running shirts. It wicks, it temperature controls, it has thumb holes and a fun little pocket on the side--yes, it's fantastic.
I will soon have a fun running hat (complete with ponytail opening for the ladies!) and some gloves, and my winter training wardrobe will be complete.
Oh, and we did a nice, short, 1 hour run this morning. Felt great. Next weekend? Long run on Friday and 10K on Sunday! Plus great out-of-town visitors!
We're getting closer and closer to Vegas!
