Foggy but not frosty, another in an unbroken series of beautiful fall days. It&#8217;s like the weather is trying to make up for summer.<\/p>\n<p><b>Today (Friday Oct 8)<\/b><br \/>\nWalked 3 miles<\/p>\n<p>Walking sure seems slow! If I&#8217;d thought more about it, I wouldn&#8217;t have just dumbly followed my normal 3-mile route&#8211;I could have gone for a proper hike. Oh well. The boxer and lab at the top of Schoolbus Hill barked but didn&#8217;t make it all the way down the driveway by the time I&#8217;d passed by, even at walking pace, same on the way back; they are old &#038; tired I guess, but I was sorry not to actually get to greet them. I brought my camera and tried to capture some fall foliage&#8211;haven&#8217;t downloaded the photos yet to see if I succeeded.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really close now! I still have quite a few preparations to make: packing the big bag, making my pace card, having J. write my name on my shirt. (more on that tomorrow!) Bag pack list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Towel, soap, shampoo, conditioner (showers are available at a high school after the race, which is really nice&#8211;but only if I finish with enough margin)<\/li>\n<li>Warm clothing (long-sleeve T, hoodie, maybe gloves)<\/li>\n<li>Body glide<\/li>\n<li>Garbage bag<\/li>\n<li>Sunscreen<\/li>\n<li>Stretching rope<\/li>\n<li>Granola bars (for 7am snack; real energy bars might be better but I haven&#8217;t been too impressed by the ones I&#8217;ve tried)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve laid out my clothes &#038; Forerunner, but will still need to pin on my bib number, tie on the chip, and put blister powder in the socks.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks everybody for all the nice comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday Oct. 7 Short run, 3 miles, 31:12; splits 10:20, 10:55, 9:57 Yep, the Forerunner&#8217;s back&#8211;I had to remind myself how to set it for my preferences, but I did.
