had a great run today. i was not in the mood to run, but made myself get out. there was no excuse to skip the run. the weather is perfect. it is 60 with a slight breeze, the leaves are beautiful, no excuse there. this may also be my last opportunity to get in a long run before my next half. i was hoping to get in another long run next weekend, but that is filling up fast. today's run turned out to be great! it had some major hills in it, and i am a total hill wimp. i usually have to walk them completely even after running for two (and a half?) years. i decided to really try to tackle these hills. the first big uphill was mile 3, yes, all of mile 3! there were parts that were steep too. i was so pleased that i only had to walk very little. the last two miles were also uphill, and i managed to run most of that too! the feeling of tackling those hills is unbelievable!!!!!!!!! i feel ready for my next half. i kept up a 12:22 pace on today's 10 mile run. if i can do that with those hills, i should be able to keep up a 12 mile pace in my next half!
the asselta's called this morning to ask if they can visit next weekend. that will be a lot of fun. caitlin is having some major memory issues that are very concerning, and seem to have stumped her doctors. she can no longer work or drive, and has no energy for things. i'm glad caroline warned me ahead of time because it is going to take me a week to get used to the idea of a lower key caitlin.
