It’s Monday, I haven’t had coffee and I started my morning in a school gym with 40 very energetic kids…it’s a bullets kind of morning!
- Saturday’s 12 miler was my last double digit run before the Chilly Half Marathon. Just 3 weeks to go!
- I did go and check out the race route yesterday…let’s just say, sometimes ignorance is bliss! The good news is the course winds through some lovely neighborhoods in the picturesque town of Newton, MA. The bad news…I’ll be rolling through the hills once again. Could someone please remind me to check the course elevation before registering for another half 🙂
- I’ll be running the Canton Fall Classic on Sunday. This is a great local race that I’ve run the last couple of years. I haven’t run a 5k since the Jingle Bell Run last December and I haven’t “raced” a 5k since this race last year when I PR’d! This race is always a good time so I can’t wait!

| Saucony Triumph 10 |
- These lovelies showed up on my doorstep at the end of last week – Yes those are the new Saucony Triumph 10s (due out in November)! It took great restraint to not deviate from my training plan and go run in them immediately! But I’m off to take them for a spin now….review to come!
Happy Monday!
Yay for new shoes! Good luck with your 5k this weekend, I have one coming up in a couple of weeks.
Yeah for new shoes! Hope they are magical 🙂 I still have one long run (13 on Saturday) before my next half. It needs to go better than my last 2 12s.
Good luck on your 5k too – hope those legs are ready to fly!
i am totally an ignorance is bliss person when it comes to the race course… I really figure my knowing doesn’t change anything on race day so I just go where it says start and stop when it says finish 🙂
Ah the illustrious Newton Hills! Knowledge is power. I think you’ll be fine at your half. You’re getting stronger and stronger.
We are Triumph sisters! I was a bad girl and wore them at the Zooma 5k–they were divine though. : )
yes, Newton = Hills! I think it’s good to know the course ahead of time. I’m sure it feels good to know you can kick back a little now with the training.
Oh, and I LOVE bullet points!
Good luck with your race! Not only is Monday a writing bullet points kind of day, but reading bullet points is awesome on a Monday, too 🙂
Good luck with your race! I like doing a few races every year. It’s a great way to compare your progress.
Love the new shoes! That’s a pretty color.
