My half-marathon is in less than a month, and I am pretty excited. I am thinking about getting a visor to wear while running to keep the sun out of my face - I can't wear sunglasses while I run as my face sweats a lot and they slip and just bother me in general. Any of you out there run with visors? Have any words of wisdom for me?

9 miles
Tuesdays are my long run days - today was 9 miles. After feeling like I totally killed my last long run, I was kind of nervous to head out for another one. I've been fooled into thinking that I am over the hump before, only to be smacked down when my next run is painfully difficult. But today I added a mile to the distance and was still ok. The run wasn't quite as awesome as last week, but still pretty great. I am able to recognize how differences in the weather affect my run - this morning there was no breeze and the sun was on me most of the way, making it hotter than last week. But I powered through and was proud to make it back home again.

Way to rock out the 9 mile run! I had a great 5k today at lunch - it was party sunny and 72 - I started out too fast, so I had to walk part of it, but finished in 35 minutes - woot!
ReplyDeleteI have a hat I wear for everything, its made by under armour - it stays put and you can throw it in the wash!

Way to hit those 9 miles!! I remember the first time I hit 9, and it was just incredible. As for the visor, look for something that wicks away the sweat. I wear hats for a lot of my runs and absolutely love them. I have one from One More Mile, and some Nike ones. I hear great things about the headsweats visors.
