5 in southern Indiana

Two years ago, I ran five miles at this same location.  Well, I ran and walked five miles last time (here's the post); this time was a bit faster, and I ran the whole thing.  Yay on me.

I didn't have any cramping in my left leg, so that's good.  I also think I'll be running 12 miles on Monday after work so that I get it in before my mini-marathon on Nov 3rd.  I'm confident that I can make the distance running, I'm not so crazy about how much time I gave myself to prepare for it.  I should have started earlier and built more time into the schedule.  Note for next time, I suppose.

I'm thinking of doing another mini before the end of the year; it's the Santa Hustle 5K and Half Marathon.It looks like it would be fun (free beard!!) (ok, not free, 'cause the race costs) (but...BEARD!!!)  Of course, I'd try to ruin the fun by racing, so there's that...

I'm no scientist, but I believe you could also get a free beard by not shaving, no running required.

Not...shaving! Brilliant!!! Why didn't I think of that. I'm betting I could up my caloric intake and even get up to a larger profile like good ole St. Nick.

Doh! And I thought I had to run to look like Santa...
