15 miles to to go...

Finished 11.2 miles today and I believe it may be time for new shoes; these have seen better days. Run was a little brutal today...very cold and during 6 of the 11 miles, I was running into the wind...good times. My normal route is becoming a bore and also a bit dangerous with traffic and "questionable individuals" making comments so I think I may switch up the loop next week and steer clear of cars and transients. Taught a Pilates mat class this morning and I really cannot stress enough how helpful Pilates has been during my training...I encourage those to give it a shot if you haven't already. The strengthening and stretching combination can really be beneficial to any training regimen. More later...
