Just Keep Running. Just Keep Running.

Despite a brief break due to a slight ankle sprain, I'm still at it!  I really wasn't sure how I would take to running in the cold, but it's not so bad.  I'm making sure to keep up with my maintenance inhaler and I'm sure that's made a huge difference.

On Oct 20th, I was excited to run a 5K to benefit Winfield's Food Pantry.  My home town!  It was also my first time to run with a childhood friend, Melissa, who used to have a serious adversion to exercise and even used to hide my workout clothes.  Now she loves to run!  Our friend, Chris, from high school ran too.  I ran 9:27 min/miles which was a personal best for me.

I've kind of developed this thing about painting my nails to match whatever I'm wearing for the next day.  I've done it for all 7 events I've participated in this year.

 

Last weekend was an 8K for the Erin is Hope Foundation.  It was chilly!  I ran with Chris and Tammy.  I was sure there was no way I'd run under 10 min miles, but my official time was 48:17!

 

I used one of my new polishes from Different Dimension to match my KSU shirt.  I am loving indie polish lately and Different Dimension has some awesome colors!  Plus she recently released her Christmas line and it's sooo sparkly!

 

 

I am no where near fast, but I keep going the entire time and keep striving for personal bests AND I'm having fun!!

 

I think one of my favorite parts of the IHR 8K was all the vendors!  They even had little chocolate shaped shoes.  Can you believe I forgot to grab one in my desperate search for coffee....which even turned out to be Starbucks!

 

The next event is the 2 mile Turkey Trot on 11/17.   Kelton and I are running it together and we are so excited!  After that we're running the Reindeer Run 5K here in town on 12/15.  Can't wait!
