10 Days, 5 hours, and some odd minutes until race time :)
I did a 4 mile walk/jog today in lovely 36F weather through a gorgeous park in the middle of my city, which also has a wonderful river running through it. The cold was not so bad, other than helping me realize that I might want a pair of gloves and a hat or ear warmers for the race. Honestly the only time it got really cold for me was when I saw a parked car that was surrounded by a frozen puddle. I guess I have really become one of those crazy walker/jogger/runner people who is out there in the freezing cold.
To round out my adventure today, I figured I should go check out the local running store. Back in September, I bought myself a pair of running shoes. They are wonderful, comfortable, and supportive. One other defining detail: they are wide width. Three months later, and they are starting to get a bit loose on the sides, and that is even after I put some mileage down on the pavement and cinching them up tight. I asked to be fitted, and surprise! I am no longer a wide width. Well, at least I am not a wide width in the shoes that I enjoy. I did not buy new shoes today. Have you looked at the price of running shoes?!? $100 is a good start for something decent. I am hoping to find some sale that is closing out last year's model, or some other sale at a runner's expo. In the mean time, I will do the half in these shoes, but probably get a thicker sock to make them fit a touch better.
