4 pack for $9.99. These are the ones I bought a few weeks ago.

Cool. You can also search on disposable lab coats/jackets and get the Tyvek (paper) jackets. They are windproof, and waterproof long enough for a park day. I wore one in the pouring rain a couple of years ago and it did great as a raincoat.

My 30 min this morning felt like poop. Hoping it’s just a bad run. I still have one more (adjusted after injury) long run to go. I’m so nervous about hurting something. Not for any real reason- just worried lol.

I had this happen to me yesterday!!!. I didn’t even make it a mile. Everything was just off and hurting and feeling heavy and I was certain if I pushed it, I would get hurt. Switched it up to a walk and was in my head all day about it. Got up this morning and did 7.5 miles with zero issues. It’s so strange to me how this happens.

Got my first dedicated, actual run done today and it (like many others I’m reading about) didn’t go great. Is this a surprise? Not really. I haven’t *just ran* since the end of October. Lots of basketball, some spin bike, but not sustained running.

I did 90min on the treadmill while re-watching a YT livestream (shout out to travel with Josh and Taylor!) and the time actually passed pretty quickly. I did try my new insoles in my new shoes (same insole I’ve been using, just without 2-3 years of wear on them) and they lasted an entire 5min before I paused everything and switched to my old beat up ones. The bottom of my left foot has been grumpy since, and I spent a ton of time standing in the kitchen making Christmas cookies; nothing like waiting until the last second, huh?

I know the marathon will be a struggle this year, the question is just how much. And how much Tylenol will I take. (Hint: it’ll definitely be over the recommended amount.)
