An easy run with a little bit of a push at the end. Not too much push, but a bit more effort. Didn't run with a watch. Just went by feel.

My cold has migrated into my head, but it's actually not too bad. Just hard to hear--feels like my ears are stuffed with cotton. I'm trying to decide what I am going to race in the next few months. I think I will try to do my race with Carolyn Saturday, maybe a 5K on Thanksgiving in the tiny town of Philo (maybe), a 5K on December 4, and a 7.6 mile trail race on January 2.

I have not really blogged about this, but we decided to postpone the baby-making for a few more months, so I'm also trying to decide whether I should do the Illinois 1/2 or the full in May. I'm leaning towards the 1/2.

Boo now you are going to run it? I think you should do the indy mini instead!that wouldn't be too far of a drive would it?

I hope the stuffy head doesn't bog you down on Saturday.

My short-term racing plans are similar to yours. There's a little event this Saturday, then I've got a 5K on Thanksgiving, maybe another 5K on December 5, and a 5 or 10 miler in January.

April, when is the Indy Mini? It's not too far for me to drive.

Take care of the cold! Best of luck on tomorrow's RACE!

My vote is the HALF. I absolutely love half marathon. Most of the glory, much less of the pain! You finish still feeling alive!!!
