Getting There
This morning, I got up early, got out, and ran 5 miles. It's still harder than I'd really like it to be, but it's definitely getting easier. My heart rate isn't as low as it was in August, but each run it seems to stay a bit lower for a bit longer. However, today wasn't about being frustrated by the fact that I'm out of shape. Today was about enjoying what will probably be the last 60-degree day around here for a long, long time.It's late November in Chicago, and I headed out this morning in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. Shorts and short sleeves! On November 29! That's just about unheard of. I knew if I didn't get out there and enjoy it, I'd be kicking myself all winter long.
In other news, I'm horribly undertrained for the half I'm running in 11 days. Oops. However, it's still a weekend in Vegas, so I think I'll live.

You're not alone. I'm horribly undertrained for it too! I was more ready for it three months ago than I am now.
Well, we can just lean on eachother and hobble to the finish while allowing the momentum of the other runners to pull us forward. :-)
