In attempting to reach my goal of an increased regular distance, I met up with the Frankfort Running Group today for an 8 mile run. Most of the group was going a bit faster but since I still haven't kicked this cold I'm still not feeling my best. This cold and congestion won't go away. I'm hoping that some vitamin c and extra rest will hope do the trick. The total distance was 8.01 miles in 1:13:26 (with 9:10 splits). It was raining on the way to the run, but the sun cleared just before we would start. Thankfully I was well prepared with my running fashion as shown below. Don't mind the greasy hair and cheeseball smile.

After finishing the run, I felt good. Sore knees for about 5 minutes but after a walk around Lowe's, it was all good. I took a pic of the trail after our run. What a picturesque fall/winter day!
The girls came over for an ornament making party and we ate a ton of snacks. I was happy to start off the day burning 778 calories, as I promptly ate them back in spinach-artichoke dip and chili cheese dip. WORTH IT! I made 3 new ornaments to go on the tree, including a snitch! I was very excited to add such a prestigious ornament to the collection.
