Run today started off pretty slow. I was in the mood for some quiet, so I did not listen to my iPod, although I did bring it with me. The first 2 miles were really tough—I felt like I just couldn’t move forward, no matter how hard I tried. My breathing was quite labored too. It was just icky. After about 2 miles I felt more warmed up and ready to go, but I stil couldn’t seem to run below a 10” pace. Halfway around Cedar Lake, I decided to plug in to see if I would run faster listening to music. And yes, indeed, I did run faster. So…overall that doesn’t bode well for running a speedier USATF marathon. I like listening to music when I run; so sue me. But I’m definitely going to have to get used to running without it very soon.

I got a new top at REI yesterday, a Polartec fleece mid-weight layer. But I wore today over a long-sleeve as an outer layer, and it was AWESOME! It’s very trim fitting and cozy. I love it. I also bought a Moving Comfort sports bra, and tried that out today. It was very comfortable, and I will definitely be buying another one soon.

Abe’s playing the video of Storyhill on Channel 2, gotta run!!!!
