HOLY COW! It's been a month since I blogged!

I can't believe the time has flown by! It's been over a month since I blogged.

I promise it hasn't been a month since I've ran. I actually have been running quite a bit. I have switched my focus for now from half marathons to 10K's as the race season just began and my hubby, his dad, and I run 10K's together frequently. I plan on running my first half of the season in December so I will be continuing my half training this week.

We just ran our first race of the season. We ran the Race For The Rescues in Pasadena. It's a REALLY cool race. All benefits animal rescues. You can bring your dog and run/walk with them. They have adoption events all day as well as silent auctions and Jane Lynch from Glee was there this year. Last year it was Coach Beast from Glee. The course is around the Rose Bowl. The 5K is one lap and the 10K is two laps. My husband, his dad, and I all ran our fastest 10K times we've ever ran. My hubby and his dad both got FIRST PLACE in their age groups!!! It was a lot of fun, and definitely recommend this race for everyone, especially if you love animals.

We discontinued our half marathon training a couple weeks before our 10K run to focus on faster, shorter runs to make sure we weren't just focusing on our long distance. It clearly worked.

When we go back to half training, we will continue in the week we left off.

Some highlights since my last post:

1. I ran for the first time in Portland. That was awesome. I ran downtown down to the river and a long the river.
2. I ran my fastest 10K (Race for the Rescues).
3. I am working more than ever!
4. I went to the chiropractor and found out that I have arthritis of the feet and I have to get orthopedics for my shoes (I'll be doing a review on those once I get them).
5. I have committed to the Holiday Half (Snowflake Half Marathon) in December.

More to come this week from continued training!
