The runners choice pavement or off the road

When the Warner Bros. With that same hope of lightening-quick take-offs and ability to turn on a dime at speed, the engineering staff at Plymouth in late aptly named their new entry into the expanding muscle-car market, the Road Runner. Officially, the Road Runner was a part of the totally redesigned Belvedere family. Placed between the base Satellite and Sport Satellite series, the Road Runner shared body and soft trims with the other lines, but was built for performance.

Montana Marathon Half Marathon I signed up for this race the day before. I had it planned in my head all year to run it, but then kept forgetting to sign up. Most of Montana however the three or so probably more weeks before the run had a nice hazy film of smoke that at times made it impossible to run in so I decided to wait and see what the smoke did.

I didn't want to run a half in choking smoke. Then the week before the race I got a cold. I was blaming it on the smoke. I ran 5 miles in it Sunday and it left my throat sore.

What followed was sore throat, stuffy nose, runny nose, frog in throat, congested feeling, cough, headache Friday I was feeling pretty good ish I could hardly talk and was blowing my nose every thirty minutes and it felt hard to breathe.

I decided no half marathon. Saturday morning I woke up and felt so much better! Minimal snot and coughing and I could breathe! So naturally I signed up for the half marathon. I'm not sure my husband agreed it was a wise decision based on how my week went, but its hard to argue with a runner who has her heart set on a race.

Oh and there was a niggle in my left foot. Sort of been there since before the Ragnar Relay in Colorado.

That had me a little nervous, it really hurt during my last leg of the relay and ached some at work, Anyhoo. Race day weather was looking like 39 degrees at the start with minimal wind and 45 at the finish with minimal winds and partly cloudy.

Can I say perfect racing weather?

I admit not having run in cooler weather since last spring I had a bit of a hard time deciding what to wear. I ultimately decided tank, skirt, compression socks, arm sleeves and a buff, and maybe gloves as I hate cold fingers.

LOVE these shoes Buses started taking people out to the start at Naturally, being excited about running a half I got on the second bus, only because the first was already full, and we got to the start at 6: The race didn't start until 8: It was cold, but at least we mostly had the porta potties to ourselves for a bit as the two buses were the only buses and were headed back for more people.

I met a gal from Oklahoma and one from Wyoming and had a great time visiting and walking to keep warm. I saw some people I knew and really it was fun to catch up and meet new people and cycle through the porta potties three times, Ten minutes out from race time I stripped off my warm outer layer and decided no gloves or sleeves, I didn't want to have to deal with them when I got hot.

I turned on my Garmin and since it didn't seem to be finding a signal, I got my phone out to turn on a tracking app there and no service. Race started and still neither worked.Sunday: Day 1 of 80 Day obsession Total Body Core. This was a great arm and core workout, not too heavy on the legs and then Speed work day!
