So far so good

A week and a half into running in my custom orthotics and everything seems to be going well. Last night was my 2nd track session with them; I completed 12 400's all within 1:28 to 1:32. That's very consistent for me. Before the workout, coach Dana mentioned that if anyone was running the 5 mile Thanksgiving race here in The Woodlands, they may want to do only 2 or 3 400s last night. In the middle of the 2nd 400, I briefly considered running the 5 miler in order to not have to run anymore in the cold last night. Unfortunately I'm heading out of town around 6 tomorrow morning so the Run thru the Woods race will have to go on without me. I ran it last year for the first time and headed out of town after and didn't get to Thanksgiving lunch until 3:30. Maybe next year.
I've got my first 20 miler on the schedule for this Saturday. It will be a solo run as I'll still be at my moms; she turns 71 Saturday so gotta hang around for that!!!! Gotta love the Garmin for running in unfamiliar territory; just turn it on and go.
