Snow again!

We are back to the cold. It even snowed several inches. Yuck. I made strides last night and put my clothes and gear out before I went to bed. I searched high and low for my favorite cold weather socks. I finally found them. So htat was a plus! I am slowly learning if I can get stuff out the night before I won't have to tiptoe in the dark and then drive like a madwoman to get there on time:)
For breakfast I had toast with pb and honey and one cup of coffee. No bathroom issues this week, yay!
The training group was unusually small this morning. My sister is still taking some time off to heal. I ended up joining two other women who were planning 13 miles. They were going to run one of the hard hilly parts of the course. We were going a nice easy pace, ran out 6, part of it on the course and stopped to gu. Then we ran back the hilly part of the course. I kept repeating,
I love hills! I think I am going to write it on the back of my bib so I can see it race day.
We had some ice/slush/puddles to navigate so all in all I am happy with how it went. We just had a little bit to add in at the end to make 13. Total time was 2:19.29. That is a 10:43 pace. I only stopped my watch for the gu stop, otherwise when we waited at lights and stop signs, I let it run. I knew I would (and have forgotten) to restart it. So it was a couple minutes faster.
I can cover the distance, now I just need to figure out pace. I am thinking 9:40s. Two weeks until race day!
