This weekend was a super run-filled full one! I was scheduled to complete 16 miles for my marathon training, but I also had signed up for a local off road trail series and the first race was today. So, the gals I run with and I decided to run 14 on Saturday and the remaining 2 on Sunday.
We were so fortunate on Saturday. The storm let up before we took off running at 7AM and only came down with some force once for a few minutes around mile 10. We finished up, and the rain decided to return with a vengeance. Talk about luck of the draw!

Saturday night was the annual party for the local run club. I had never been before, so it was quite an adventure. Delicious food, fabulous friends, and some entertaining dancing moves!

Sunday, Run Day rounded out the weekend with a 3k at a park in Midtown. It was freezing! Winter has decided to arrive, and with a grand entrance at that! Thankfully, the sun was shining. The trails were nice and muddy since it rained so much yesterday. Bonus! I was really proud of this run as I managed to run the entire thing without stopping to walk once! I am typically an interval runner, but since this was (technically) just under 2 miles, I thought I would go until I couldn't go anymore. And go I went!

Overall, I'm super impressed my legs are still attached to my body after this weekend! Now it'
s time to go get my roll on (roll out? Rollin'?) and stretch so they don't decide to fall off tomorrow.
