First of all, I want to remind everyone that it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So for all the ladies (and even gentlemen) out there, please remember to do self exams and remind your friends.
In running-related news, my compression socks that I won from Tricia's give-away arrived and so did my Nathan's Women's 2.0L Hydration Pack. I love them both!!! I have to say that the socks are not easy to put on, but they really seem to help my recovery. The hydration pack I used for the first time on Monday for a 12.26 mile run with Caitlin (in 2:28). The first mile I had to get used to the pack and make a few adjustments, but after that it was wonderful. I used it again today for a solo 6 mile run (in 56:44... a 9:27 pace! Sweet!). Both times I used it, I forgot to take a picture.
Last weekend was my 10 year high school reunion. I had a good time seeing old friends. I also got to see my family, which was great. I wish I could see them all more often. My niece, Joy, is getting so big! She speaks in full sentences now and is so bright. In other family news, my little brother turned 16 yesterday. SIXTEEN?! My little brother is growing up.... and I feel ancient!
So far, I really do think they help! I have been doing a little bit of speed work and some long runs, and my legs hurt less than they used to. Sure they are still a little tired, but my muscles seem less sore. Maybe it is all in my head, but that works for me too! LOL
