I am a day late posting this...I had a busy day yesterday so I didn't have time to post. BUT I did get my run in and that was the important thing. I had an appointment at from 9-9:30 yesterday and then a haircut at 10:30 followed by an appt. for Dad in Peoria where I had to leave at 2:00. I didn't want to run after lunch...it never settles well so I squeezed my run in between 9:45-10:30. I just ran to my hair appointment. Good thing I did...what I thought was just a cut ended up being an appt for cut and color. If I had waited I would not have been able to run yesterday. So glad I did what I did...left the house at 9:55 ran for 30 minutes ending up at the salon.

Also, I had to run in the snow flurries...actually it wasn't too bad. I wasn't sure how to dress for the weather so I posted something on a FB group I belong to. Someone recommended runnersworld.com had an app that determines what you should wear in different types of weather. What to wear it was so helpful and spot on. I actually wore a bit more than I should have...after a mile I was ready to peel a layer, but I didn't.
This was helpful because I am running my first 12K Saturday in the cold so I was worried about how to dress for it.

The run was easier than Tuesday when it was so windy...but I still struggled, I did notice that my pace was a little faster so maybe that is why I struggled. I will have to sssslllloooowww down for the 12K...I don't need an 11:00 minute pace. However, yesterday it was a good thing...I went a little too far in the opposite direction of the salon and found I was going to be late if I didn't hustle. Lesson learned...don't wander too far in the opposite direction when you have a specific time to be somewhere. I guess that should be one of my "lessons" but I have lost track of what number I am on.

I tried taking a picture of running in the snow flurries, but it didn't turn out so I guess next time!

Next post will be after my 12K! Not sure how I am going to tackle that run. HOw far to run and then run-walk intervals...I will see how I feel tomorrow during the run.
