Total Distance
13.12

Did my own private half marathon distance today. Actually wasn't sure how far I'd go when I started, but was going for at least 10 and max 15 (as I'm so close to 1200 for the year). Mid run decided to do a half, and the last couple miles I pushed it be sure I got under 2 hours. Felt pretty good during the run, no pains, no desire to quit. Positive stuff. It was 24 with wind when I started so after walking outdoors and feeling the breeze going right through my tights I went right back inside and switched into some new wind pants I picked up at Sam's yesterday for $10. Sweet deal! Now I've got 3 pairs of bottoms for 3 different temp ranges. My chin was cold when the wind was in my face so I need to find me a thin layer to pull over my chin. Saw one at Eddie Bauer but they wanted $20 and I don't want to pay that much. I'll find something.

Didn't know about the Lunar Eclipse but I saw it when I headed out at 6:45 and we were blessed with completely clear skies today. Gorgeous eclipse! I was able to leave my headlamp at home also as it was just starting to get light. That was nice not to carry it.

AP: 9:03. Splits: 10:09 (fixed pants), 7:44, 9:10 (fixed pants again), 8:06, 9:32, 10:21 (uphill dirt begins), 9:50, 9:31, 9:00, 9:42, 8:39, 8:08, 7:45, 7:57 (last .12). Avg HR: 151.
