It was kind of chilly today - 30*F but the wind wasn't blowing - and I was comfortable in UA tights, UA long sleeved base layer, NF jacket, thin gloves, and a hat. Actaully, at some points I was kind of chilly, alleviating the fear that I overdressed.

The trail I run on for long runs was icy + snowy at some points, but it wasn't that hard to run out. I did think I'd bite it a few times, but I stayed upright.




^^ this is a photo I found online, but it's from the trail I ran on today and v. similar to what I saw!


Audiobook is staying interesting, which is so important for me for long runs. I have about 9 hours left of this book, so I'll need to find a new book before training for National is over. Suggestions?

After my run I drove to Panera and ate - um, inhaled - lunch: + sandwhich + brownie + chocolate milk. I think I scared some patrons. Then to Ulta for BM 'warmth' and finally to DSW for brown slingbacks [gift cert that expired today].

It's kind of odd, but I would think not unusual: I'm not very hungry the day of a long run, but starving the day after. Will need to pack two lunches for tomorrow!
