Wednesday:
--After work run with the dawg. He likes to stop and smell things and it's kind of annoying, but it's my dawg and I love getting him out for some exercise!
Stats:
3.32 miles in 38:06
Avg Pace 11:29
HR High - 179
HR Avg - 166
Calories burned - 482
--Post-run dodgeball game! We were down a player and only had 5 so we had zero subs and the only rest we got was the time we were out of the game or during the 4 minute resting/half-time period. We were down 4-1 at the half and came back to tie 5-5 by the end of the game!
--Dinner and drinks with my sister and her fiance (yep, fiance!) and my parents at Old Chicago!
Thursday:
--Mid-day run during my long lunch hour. It was warmer than I thought it would be and I struggled more than I thought I would. Ate a Clif Bar right before the run, which probably aided in my crappy run. Time/pace wasn't so bad...in fact, it was pretty normal, but I just didn't feel great. Oh well.
Stats:
5.06 miles in 58:57

I've been contemplating how far I will run on Saturday. I'm thinking 9 or 10 miles...probably 10 if I can figure out a good route. I've also been thinking about how far my longest run will be. I had initially planned on 12 miles, but the more I read, the more I think maybe 10 or 11 is enough. As of this very moment, I'm thinking 11. That way I can taper back down to 8 or 9 and 6 miles the next 2 weeks. Oct. 30 I'll be running a 10k with my sister, which will be a really good way to wind things down the week before the half-marathon and get in that last long run before the big day!
I'm getting super pumped for this! I can't wait to see my old friends and selfishly show off my size 10 frame (hehe) to those who haven't seen me in 5+ years. Woah, that's really not very humble at all....but I've had 2 glasses of wine tonight and I'm about to pour another one....
