To the Paso Robles Marathon I go

by SkinnyRunner on October 16, 2011

DSCN5831

Went to bed at 1opm, got up at 5:30am, had my gear laid out the night before and ready to go.

I’m sporting an SR shirt, this sparkle BIC Band (is probably my favorite of all), and a Nike Challenger Drifit skirt that’s no longer available.  I think I’m going to pass on the SPIbelt though.

Goal today is go out around 8:30 min/mile, run as many miles as I can around 8:15-8:30 and then hold on for the rest.  This will be a  long training run for Savannah/NYC in a couple weeks so any finish around 3:40-3:45 would be awesome.  And anything else is fine too; it’s all gravy.

Off to do #20.

I love that skirt….too cute! That’s mainly what I run in…for some reason, the past few months my shorts ride UP WAAAY too high:)

I’ve wondered what the Bible verse said too — My King James version says: “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”

So let me know when you’re ready to sell that skirt! I just admire it every time i see your header! ;-) I’ve been watching ebay but haven’t seen the right color/size combo yet.
