My Quest to 50
New Orleans, Louisiana
March 4, 2012
I’m 5 weeks away from my first half marathon (13.1 miles) of the year in New Orleans. I trained outdoors yesterday in Central Park and ran 6 miles, it was a bit tough in the breathing part because it was 27 degrees and I’ve mostly been training indoors, but it’s nothing I can’t get used to and will strengthen my breathing the more I run outdoors. Overall I completed the outer loop of Central Park which equals 6.1 miles including Great hill on 110st. I’m hoping next Sunday to complete 7-8miles.

In the next few weeks I will be running 3-4x a week which will include one outdoor run. I will not let this winter weather keep me away from getting in my training runs. Yesterday in 27 degrees I wore a dri-fit tank top, Under Armour turtle neck base layer and my Under Armour hooded sweatshirt along with my gloves and hat and I was quite warm and yes I was sweating even in the cold weather. I also tried out my fuel hydration belt for the first time and I loved it, kept me hydrated in my 6miles especially since the fountains are shut off during the winter season. Will keep you posted on how my run next week goes and how many miles I complete for the week.
