Got 3.5 miles in today - it was sooo BEAUTIFUL outside! Like spring! I almost feel guilty reading about 5 degrees. Thanks JackieRN for the link, I definitely want to find out more about what my Garmin can do. It has definitely been a motivator. Have a good evening everyone!
Today was a scheduled off day for me, actually I skipped a few of my off days recently because I have the run bug bad! I want to run as hard as I can every day, and am not yet registered for my 10K, I am thinking of the half marathon already. I'm hooked bad.
I've decided that those of you who are running outside in the snow and rain are CRAZY! It was only 29 degrees here in "sunny" Florida this morning, and there's just no way I could do it. I suppose it might help if I owned any cold weather gear, but I don't even own a winter coat or gloves.
Instead I headed back to the gym and did 4 miles on the recumbent bike. I cranked up the resistance, and my legs felt like mush when I left. Then I went home and did weighted squats and step-ups, so I'm thinking when I go to stand up later today, I'm going to really feel those muscles.

it's a very cool feeling, isn't it??
9 today, mostly ran but legs turned to frozen solid 800 pound weights and had to walk last mile or so.
I ran on the treadmil today in PE... I ran 2 miles, but I was wearing some reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllly old and worn out shoes that sliced up the back of my ankle. It really hurts now, and the bleeding didn't stop until about half an hour ago...
I'm gonna take it easy tomorrow.
Dixied: I agree, I feel crazy today its currently 9 deg which is higher than its been all day. I haven't been able to get myself out there. I just can't do it, its way too cold. I give in, I have a step aerobics class tonight and if the resolution crowd isn't hogging the treadmills I will attempt my first indoor run in 2 months. Wish me luck and as much sanity as one can hope to muster given my dread.
last night
