Cooler and windy

Autumn is definitely on its way in.  Today was 53F and pretty windy.  I did get out for my 3 mile run that had been postponed from yesterday thanks to rain and being the day after my last run.  I could do back-to-back 3 mile runs, but I don't need to.  I could tell the cooler temps + the wind together were getting close to sparking some asthma.  I guess I have to get used to the cooling weather.  At least I didn't get all the way to wheezing.

I thought I was going really slow, but I ended up at 10:44min/mile at an average hear rate of 161.  Actually maybe a bit high, since it looks like at my fastest points, the HRM was losing contact.  I guess I'm not meant to run 9min/mile!

One week until my 10k!  I ordered a shirt with my half marathon number on it.  I hope it won't be too cold to wear it.  Maybe I could wear it over another shirt if it's too cold.  But, this way I won't have to pin on my number and risk tearing it off by accident (this was an issue for my 20k).  Also, I'll have a personalized run shirt!

Good luck on your 10k. You'll do great and feel like a queen when you cross the finish line.
