I’m excited! Yesterday, I bought some new running clothes for the colder running weather. I bought the jacket, capris, and then a pair of pants. I don’t buy workout clothes very often, even though I absolutely love them so I’m pretty pumped. Marshalls for the win! I am currently waiting for the sun to heat…
These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Today’s Run: 14 miles/2:13 …AKA, farther than I have ever run before! I think I have found the secret to finishing a super long run: zoning out. Okay, not completely zoning out because that’s just dangerous and stupid. When my mind is clear, I tend to focus way too much on how tired and am. Today,…
