Rainy day run.....

Todays run was a 4 miler.  Ran out and back out of the neighborhood and got caught in the rain. At about mile one it started to rain and kept it up the rest of the way. My feet and knees are killing me. I think I need something other than my super flat inov8s for this much mileage.

Id really like to try a version of the Asics I ran in the other night. I found some. Just gotta find the $$$$. Unless Asics wants to sponsor me in my Half Marathon.  ;)

So......I'm training for a half marathon. Planning to run the Music City Half Marathon in October, the 13th to be exact. I found a 10 week training program, amazingly, 10 weeks to the day that I decided to do this craziness.  So I've been running my bootay off for the past few weeks, this week my long run on Saturday is a 6 miler. I've done 6 before so no biggie. Next week though, next week is an 8 mile long run. I may die. Last night I went to Fleet Feet in Murfreesboro (very cool place full of the cooliest of peeps) and participated in their first Monday Fun Run.  I did a 3 mile out and back loop. My second 3 miles for the day.  There was an Asics rep there and I got to demo run in a pair of Gel Nimbus 15's.  Nice shoes, too squishy for me though. She recommended the Gel Nimbus Lite. Nice shoes but $130+ bucks is kinda spendy. Although they do glow in the dark. Now that is almost worth the steep price tag.

Out to the grocery store for me. One day I'll get to putting some pictures on here.  The run last night took us across a bridge right in the middle of Murfreesboro.  If you don't walk or run over that bridge you would never know that right under it is a beautiful park and river with some gorgeous falls! Next week I'll get a picture. Reminded me to stop and look around every once in a while.
