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.
When my hair began to turn gray abundantly, a kindergartener pointed to my hair and said, "Mrs. Wheatley, you have silver highlights!" So, I'm not turning gray, I have Silver Highlights! And I'm a runner. This blog is about my adventures as a runner and asthmatic. Read on to follow my journey on my weekly runs and many races.
