November 2024 in review
Total mileage for the month: 270.8
- Oct. 28-Nov. 3: 45.4
- Nov. 4-10: 56.0
- Nov. 11-17: 61.4
- Nov. 18-24: 63.2
- Nov. 25-Dec. 1: 70.2
Races:
- Race Across Kansas Half Marathon in 1:35:31 for 1st overall female in this point-to-point race into an 18 mph headwind. I can't even say this is the worst wind I've run into for this race; one year it was 30 mph!
Workouts:
- Nov. 12: 8 x 2:00 on/1:00 off with a friend. I didn't take splits so have no idea what we ran, but I just stayed right beside her.
- Nov. 19: 4 x 0.5 mile progressive with 2:00 jogs a friend in 3:34, 3:21, 3:09, 3:00.
- Nov. 26: 2 x 0.5, 1 mile threshold, 2 x 0.5 in 3:05, 3:06, 6:34, 3:02, 2:58.
- Favorite workout: Nov. 26!
- Nov. 1: 12 miles
- Nov. 9: 12.4 miles
- Nov. 16: 16.6 miles
- Nov. 23: 15 miles
- Nov. 30: 15.5 miles with the Race Across Kansas Half.
- Favorite long run: Nov. 16 felt pretty effortless, but Nov. 23 and Nov. 30 were also good days.
Running Highlights:
- I did a trail run on Nov. 24. I'm going to try to incorporate some trail running for a new stimulus that works my muscles differently. It's just harder logistically since I have to drive 25-30 minutes to the nearest trails.
Life Highlights:
- We did an overnight trip to St Louis and explored the Forest Park area.
- My parents visited for a weekend and we celebrated my dad's birthday.
- Thanksgiving didn't go quite according to plan, but we are thankful year round.
