Hal Higdon's Novice 1 Marathon Training Schedule: Week 5, Day 2
Days to Chevron Houston Marathon: 96
Planned activity: 3 mile run
5:15am 72 degrees
3:19 miles 32.35 Avg 10:13 min/mile
Witnessing my brother and my son, 2 things I learned:
I can stand to run a little faster. I know this because I did and it didn't kill me and I felt better after. Today I made it a point to increase my pace for this short run. I broke more of a sweat but I wasn't winded.
Guys wear a jacket, get warm, take it off and carry it. I (on the other hand) wear a jacket, get warm, and tie it around my waste. I may not look as cool as the guys but I'm more practical - unless I come across someone who is chilly and needs a rapid warmup.
If that happens, the men are obviously waaaaayyy ahead of me on this issue.

This is hilarious. I also see people carrying water bottles, which seems silly to me, but I will drink out of a hose!
