November 2014 runs

November--the month of falling leaves, raking leaves, burning leaves...ok...let's leave the leaves theme!  I love November with the cooler weather and the beautiful change in seasons.  Virginia is one of the best places to be to enjoy the fall foliage.  I also love it for great weather for running.  It isn't too hot and it isn't too cold.  Perfect for running.  Here are the runs:

November 7, 2014--I only got to run 2 miles.  I got home from work and quickly changed and ran.  When I got home I was on baby duty for the night.  Laura and Ethan had already planned a night out and I volunteered for baby duty.  They got to go paint and I got to take selfies with my favorite boy.  It was win-win!

November 9, 2014--Today was a good 3 mile run.  My pace was about 12:45, which is a little slower than other times, but that is ok. 

November 11, 2014--Veteran's Day.    Today Chris and I just decided out to walk and talk. We went 2 miles.  Sometimes this is the one of the best things to do.  We get to talk and enjoy each other's company and move our muscles.  

November 16, 2014--What a great day.  I cleaned some of my closet, bought groceries, and started the day out with a wonderful run.  I ran 4.42 miles and it felt great. It was a gorgeous fall day with wonderful temperatures--about 50 degrees.  Got to keep it up!

November 28, 2014--Thanksgiving was Thursday.  Friday we went to Green Valley Book Fair--what a fun Black Friday shopping day!  Today I ran 4.1 miles.  It felt great.  Sarah and I also built a behind the sofa table to help hold drinks and such.  

Ok.  five runs in the month. Not great.  I need to average about 3 per week in order to be ready for the Disney Half Marathon in February.  Hopefully I can be ready in time.
