What a great morning and day so far. Since Gerri cannot run until Sunday (per Doctors orders) she couldn't run with her training group. We decided that we would walk downtown this morning, then do a 7+ mile run tomorrow.
Our day started off at Fleet Feet for the organizational No Boundaries meeting. This is a basic Couch to 5K training program. We believe in the program because it worked for us and acted as volunteer coaches when they conducted their first NoBo group earlier this year. After a nice meeting with a good turn out, we headed out for our walk.
We walked all throughout the Augusta Road, into the West End, Downtown and then all the way up McDaniel. It was a nice 1:30 minute walk, roughly 5 miles. We walked naked (no Garmin) so I'm guessing a bit on the mileage based on the time.
After the walk we stopped back into Fleet Feet where I exchanged my Mizuno Wave Riders for a new pair of Brooks Adrenaline 8's. I have gone through 4 or 5 pairs of the 7's so hopefully the 8's will work just as well if not better. I'll be trying them out in the morning. Gerri also picked up a new pair of shoes plus an outfit and some Carb Boom.
We grabbed lunch (Beef & Cheddar Spud) and some unsweet tea next door at McAlisters's Deli before heading home. Looks like we'll spend the afternoon relaxing before heading to our good friends Mike and Nancy's for a Christmas Party. Yes, a Christmas Party. Their daughter is in from New York and since she won't be coming back down for Christmas this year they decided to hold it early.
Will have to be an early evening without much beer or wine since we'll have to start our run at 6:00am tomorrow.
