While I was looking at my Nike+ stats yesterday my husband asked how my February running was going. Then he reminded me that February has fewer days - "10% fewer days". I guess that's actually a sizable amount when you think about it. Regardless, I seem to be doing just fine.
I haven't blogged about any of last week's running. There was a lot. Almost too much, I think. A quick recap:
Wed 2/11/09: It was 65 degrees outside, so I had no choice to run.
(I hate then I accidentally end the run while I'm trying to change the music or something.) That's a total of 8.55 miles.
Thurs 2/12/09: I was still high from yesterday's run, and decided to run more.
Saturday 2/14/09: I had to do something on my one day off for the week. Alas, I couldn't convince myself to run.
Then I specifically made myself take a couple days off.
Today (well, yesterday, technically) I was back to running:
Overall, a but slower than I had hoped, but it WAS 35 degrees outside. Fortunately the snow is gone and things were pretty dry. Until it started raining tonight.
How I was overdressed for 35 degrees:
- My new favorite Nike Heavyweight running tights -- sooo toasty warm. I am sorry I only splurged on one pair when I found them on medium* sale.
- Nke Drifit long sleeve shirt
- Brandless** tech intermediate weight sport jacket***
- Nike Thermafit Fleece
- Nike running gloves
- Matching Nike hat.
* medium sale = reasonable price, but not the super sale price at which I normally buy everything.
** Yes, I do own the random non Nike Piece
*** This is what made me too warm. Well, it plus the fleece. I should have opted for a lighter piece here or my fleece vest rather than the long-sleeve fleece.
Unzipped I managed to cool down, but I was still sweatier than I prefer.
