Running Blind

Got up at 5:30 to run 3 miles, and there was a chill in the air. I just love this weather, even though I know it won't last long. I was glad to have found a pair of capri length running tights to keep my legs warm this morning. These had a drawstring waist, and I made sure to buy some small enough not to fall down, which was the problem I had last winter with the running tights. I'll have to invest in at least one more pair for the winter months. I definitely prefer running in tights because once they are on they stay put, unlike the shorts which are always moving and shifting around. The Garmin petered out about 5 minutes into my run. I must not have recharged it after I ran long on Sunday, so it just died and I had a blank screen for the rest of the run. Luckily for me, I know most of my run routes for different distances, so I knew exactly where to run that would take me 3 miles. I have no idea of what my pace was, which was felt a little odd for me. I just ran what felt right for me this morning. Since it was a short training run, pacing wasn't all that important, just needed to make sure I wasn't racing on a training run. Gotta save what speed I posses for the race course. 1 more short run, 2 rest days and then it's race day.
