November 5 - November 12
Day 311: 17.01 Miles - I got the White Rock Lake just before 6:00am today to meet HC for our run. I didn't realize until I got there that the Dallas Running Club was having their DRC Half Marathon that day. At the least the part of the lake we were running on was not park of the course. I felt pretty good all the way up to about mile 10 or so, which was when my legs were starting to fill stiff and tired, but not horrible. Once I got to mile 14 or 14.5 I was starting to feel muscle aches in the area that I had hurt myself. So, running only 17 miles versus 19 because that take my straight to car. I did not want to push myself too much, especially after coming out of recovery and it being the longest distance to day since that injury. After I stretched a bit and walked at the car I did feel like I could go for at least another mile, but erred on the side of caution. So there you have it. I felt so good having a running buddy cause we talked about everything running and how our training has gone. We also talked about lots of other things. It. Was. Great!
Day 312: 7.01 Miles - Rest day! I finally was able to take advantage of the time change, by accident. I did a 10 minute kettlebell exercise before cycling for 30 minutes. It felt good to be back at it again.
Day 313: 6.01 Miles - I didn't get the mileage that I wanted or needed. I was suppose to run 9 miles, but I got to it all too late in the morning. Plus, I had to go to the gym instead of outside because of all the rain we're having. I think the treadmill makes me slower, in some respects. I did get to go through a lot of episodes of Parks and Recreation, which was nice!
Day 314: 0 Miles - Rest day! Got through a mundane day of work and finally got have a great dinner with my fiance and his siblings. We were celebrating my love's birthday!
Day 315: 0 Miles - I totally woke up too late in the morning to do anything worth while running wise. So, I chilled at home with my cat and started chores to be ready for the trip to Houston.
Day 316: 8.01 Miles - This was a crazy day! I ran 8 miles instead of 9 since I had so much to do before meeting my fiance for a wedding venue appointment. Well, we got everything done. The venue was really nice! Grabbed a late lunch then it was a long evening driving to the outskirts of H-Town. We finally made it to the hotel and met up with my family for a late dinner at Dave and Busters with the wedding party. We were so tired!
Day 317: 0 Miles - Wedding Day! For my brother, that is. We had lunch with part of the family then it was down to getting ready for the late afternoon ceremony. The entire day was really nice, and the wedding was just lovely. My brother (who is about 4 years younger than me) looked like a kid wearing a suit and standing in a candy store! It was so cute! And my new sister-in-law was beautiful!
