Nothing is more irritating than too-big running tights on a run. I think I must have stretched them out in the washer or something because the Nike pair I wore on Thursday were falling down the entire time I was braving the cold and all I did was hike them up with every step. I think I need to invest in the drawstring kind. I didn’t give anyone a show, but had I not hiked up those tights, I definitely would have been showing waaayyyy too much skin!
Aside from the running tights, this run was tough! The wind was whipping and it was about 20 degrees. I just never seemed to get my breath. I ended up only staying out for a mile and going home.
Today is a treadmill run after work. I haven’t done more than 3.5 miles in all of December, so I need to bang out 4 today at more of a comfortable pace for me (11:30). I’ve been really focused on speeding up my 5k time before I start half-marathon training in January.
Speaking of the half, if anyone can point me to any training programs you liked, please do!
I like the Hal Hidgon's on th Internet.
ReplyDeleteBut I am only doing 2 weekday runs and a long run. I find that if I do 3 weekday runs, I tend to be overzealous and injure myself.
I ran Saturday and I think my panties were a little big. Haha. I felt it slipping down and I had to do some adjustments during my run.
Thanks Christina! I think I may adopt your training style. I've gotten shin splints too many times to count now.
