I'm also really enjoying running at the moment after running the Philadelphia Half Marathon which was my first. The last few miles really challenged me (in which I had caught a cold the week of which may or may not have had an impact). Getting through it though and finishing has made my running ever since more enjoyable as I feel more confident and determined that I will perform better next time I tackle the half marathon distance. Part of it could be to the anticipation being behind me, but yea I'm really enjoying running even out in the cold which was never my thing.
Highly recommend some fartleks before the snow falls. Whatever time/distance/reps feel good. Turn over the legs to get out of the blahs, but don't go into it with a set workout. Just have fun with it.

Thanks for watching! Confidence is a huge part of running, especially after getting that first race out of the way.

@@FreshBrewRunClub Glass city is ok....big race but some LONG stretches with no turns.
I'm going to do Glass City for my first full marathon.
Did you get into Chicago?!
I didn’t apply this year. I’ll probably try for 2026 though
@ I didn’t get in. But I’m thinking of doing Detroit. I can’t remember if you said you have done that one before. Would you recommend?
