Catching up and Run for Cupcakes Virtual Race

 Life seems to have been busy this week!  Today I am off and finally have a little time to sit and blog and catch up on blogs.  Tuesday I ran up to High Point.  Out and back to my Grandmother's house was just short of 10 miles.  Lots of cows along the way.  A perfect fall day.  Love the view from up here. Peaceful.
There is an old survey marker up there. 


and just a little more of the view.  I could sit here all day and enjoy the view.  So good for the soul.  You can't really see it from here but my Dad and one of his friends were down there riding.  They passed me in the horse trailer on my way back.
Today I ran in the rain.  I did a mile warmup then did 3.7 miles for Run For Cupcakes and about 1.5 miles into the run, it started pouring.  I was soaked by the time I was done running. I didn't even get any pictures.  Mostly by the time I was done running I just wanted to get into some dry clothes and get warmed up.  It was about 50 degrees out with a little bit of wind.  When dry it is great running, but wet not quite as good!  Of course by the time I got done running it also quit raining.

 and my official time.  I was amazed I stayed so consistent.  I put my Garmin in my pocket once it started raining hard so it wouldn't get to wet.  Not too bad for running in the rain and wind :)











Now I am hoping I win a cool prize!

My little sister is running her 2nd half marathon this weekend in Slovenia.  So excited for her.  Good luck Baby Sis!

I do have another giveaway coming up so stay tuned!

  11. Wow your pace is like DEAD ON almost every mile. How in the world do you do it?!?! Seriously. Also, I ran two 7:35 miles on the treadmill the other day and wanted to DIE. You are FAST, woman. Good luck to your sister! That is totally awesome :)

  13. Great run for the Cupcake Classic, and in the rain! I've yet to run in the rain, I'm a fan of rain in general, but I'm clumsy so I can see falling! Those views are gorgeous! Hope you little sister does great in her race.
