I bought some new winter running clothes, and what a difference they make!
We meet twice a week with Team in Training for our group workouts.
Tuesday night at 6:40 is the technique, form, drills, etc. workout.
Saturday morning is the "social run," where we work on distance. The
Saturday runs will get longer and longer as we go. I think the longest will
be a 20 miler when we get close to the race.
We met at a coffee shop in Brooklyn before the run. Everybody is coming
straight from work, so they arrange for a place to keep your bags while you
are out running. Seconds before we left, I lost one of my gloves! When it
is 30 degrees out, you really want both of those! For the first half of the
run, I was trying to alternate which hand I put the glove on. Your left glove
doesn't really fit on your right hand, just in case anybody was wondering...
Thank goodness I warmed up towards the end and didn't need them so
much! (I found the glove when we got back to the coffee shop - hooray!).
The second you stop running, it is FREEZING again. And WINDY. I
actually bought a hot drink on the way home (which I never do), and burned
my tongue on it. I couldn't wait for the warmth. Does a burned tongue count
as a marathon related injury?
