Happily, I've gotten the chance to test out my new interval jacket from Athleta. And I love it! It is super light, but it keeps me toasty warm once I'm running. Somehow it seems to wick the sweat off of my body, so I stay dry and warm. At first I thought the sleeves were too long, but I figured out that the length is great for cold days because you can sort of retract your hands into the sleeves to keep them warm. I also love the pockets! Instead of having to lug my iphone around in my hands, I can stick it in the chest pocket. Keys in a side pocket. So much easier than before! I am a happy camper.For the last couple weeks, I have also been trying to keep up my enthusiasm by looking at some of the bloggers who ran in the NYC marathon. It's pretty amazing that all of these people found the time to train in their busy lives, and their stories are inspiring to read. So far, I especially like the Carrots N Cake one, Lauren Fleshman's blog, and the Healthy, Happier Bear recap.
I think Kim and I are going to skip the 5K we had been planning on running tomorrow. So much going on with all the cooking! But I am looking forward to hearing about the half-marathon that some of our friends are running in Atlanta tomorrow... so proud of them!

When I was running, some days it was an effort, sometimes effortless. You just keep doing it and it turns around.
Don't forget the best little dog in the world was found running on a windy day with temps in the 20's!
Maybe the cold affects your joints and makes them not work as well. Fall was the best time. Now you have to get used to winter. Glad the jacket works.
Since it has been so warm this fall, I keep thinking that maybe if I wish hard enough winter will never come! I think I am finally leaving my funk behind. But maybe I just felt better because it was 60 degrees out again!
