My Pinterest inspired count down. I'm following the Jeff Galloway "Finish Upright" plan for the Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon for those who have been running more than 6 months. Today was training day 1 and it called for a 30 minute run.
It was cold and windy and dark when I set out this morning. I walked my kids to their bus stop, kissed them goodbye and off I went. I came home to an empty house and I may continue this routine in order to experience getting ready without being interrupted!
The run itself was fine. I managed a little over 1.5 miles and was slightly under the 30 minute mark. It rained a little as you can see in the picture. I'm still on the fence about running in the rain. Maybe in the summer it's fun but 50 and windy in Chicagoland and its a little uncomfortable.
Speaking of uncomfortable, why is it that I cannot find ladies wicking underwear? At my favorite big box store for work out equipment, Target, they had rows and rows of sports bras and pants. No undies. If I'm going to wear wicking everything else, why would I wear cotton briefs? I'll confess, I went commando today because my 2 wicking pair I was able to snag last January, (Do they only offer in the winter?) were in the wash. I thought perhaps that's the story behind not being able to find them, ladies are supposed to go sans wicking undies. I did not enjoy that experience either.
Running Tip: I use the Nike Running App and right now I'm pledging my miles to the Red campaign to eradicate HIV. Bank of America will donate $0.40 for every mile. I think it's a win all around! You can too! Visit this link to learn how!
