H-Happy Running (I ran 27.65 miles this week and pretty much loved every minute. That put October mileage at 108.45. I haven't run over 100 miles in a month since spring 2009. Legs are feeling worked but in a good way!)
A-Awesome party thrown by Amy! (Saturday night, Amy and the architect hosted a fab Halloween party complete with spooky themed drinks and a projector showing scary movies. Great job lady!)
L-Long Run (I did 10 miles on Sunday morning and was treated to bright blue skies and crisp air. Mr. Pi and I did opposite loops from our house and got to see each other on the trail about halfway through our runs, it was awesome. It was one of those mornings when I wished (at least for a moment) that I was running longer since it was perfect running weather.)
L-Legs (I FINALLY did a strength circuit on Tuesday evening and wowie, it’s been awhile. My legs were SORE! My abs were also nice and sore. I foresee more 30-day shred videos in my future.)
O-Ow! (My foot is still suffering from the Morton’s Neuroma issue. Totally annoying. I haven’t been wear heels! It may just be one of those things I have to deal with, which, in the grand scheme of dealing with issues, this one isn’t too bad.)
W- Win (That's right, Giants won Game 4 and are up 3-1 in the World Series. Game 5 tonight---GOOOOOOO GIANTS!)
E- Elections (I turned in my ballot last week---how about you? PS I'm ready for campaign commercials to go away.)
E-Even Splits (For my long run, I tried to work on even pacing instead of slowing down at the end like normal. I did a .9 run/.1 walk ratio and tried to keep the running right around 11-11:30 min miles. I mostly succeeded, there were some miles below 11 and a couple well above 11, namely mile 8 which involves a 1/2 mile pretty steep grade hill. I ended my 10 mile long run with the walk/run strategy at just over 2 hours, which means, I was just over a 12 min mile which is about right with walk/running. Eventually, I’d like my long runs to be closer to 11:30 but for now, I’ll take 12.)
N-November (seriously?!?! It's November already. My favorite holiday is approaching--Thanksgiving---yummmmmmmm!)
I'll leave you with some photos from the week!
