Night Runner

Jen and I recently returned from our well-deserved and much-awaited vacation to sunny San Diego. The trip was amazing - some of the best fun we've had in a long time. Unfortunately, we were busy having so much fun that we didn't run or workout while we were on the West Coast. We did walk a measurable distance and swim in the Pacific Ocean; that counts for something, right?

We've had to modify the training schedule as a 12 miler was in line for this past Saturday; we'll make that up in 2 phases this coming Saturday. Tonight we ran our infamous loop (with an extension to boost it to 5k length) to get back into the swing of things. As an added surprise (especially after returning from San Diego), tonight was the first cold run we've been through since our formal training began. The temperature was in the low 50's and the sun was set for most of the run. Overall, it went very well; but needless to say we started assembling our clothing strategy for the Columbus Half.

The plan is to cross train at the gym Thursday and Friday and then tackle a medium distance at running club Saturday morning with the Reggae Run 5k Saturday night.
