I'm gonna take it easy tomorrow.

My feet hurt on your behalf.

OH I wish you luck but I know what you're facing . My gym and classes have been ****.

Just 2.21 walking tonight. My knee is feeling twitchy. I think I'm going to hold off on runs until I get new shoes on Saturday.

Finally walked my kids home from school today, so an extra two miles for me. I've decided I can't, ok let's be honest ~won't~ walk if it's below 40°. Just not gonna happen.

9 today, mostly ran but legs turned to frozen solid 800 pound weights and had to walk last mile or so.

YES!! I love it! I want to do your milage, 9 miles sounds like a lot to me.

Today- 4 miles run on my treadmill while watching Gossip Girl. Still too cold and icy.

Reading the posts and feeling a little guilty that I ran in shorts and a t. We'll be paying for it come summer though.

Ran 2 1/4 today.

Angie and I got in 2 with the mutts

24/1000 MILES

is there a penalty if I don't make it?

4.5 miles at the park today. It was a sunny, no wind 49 degrees, I had on a wool cap and gloves. They came off sooner today than Monday, so maybe as I build running endurance I'll also build a tolerance for being out in the chilly weather...

I believe you'll be beaten with wet noodles, rolled in powdered sugar, and then photographed for posterity.

Avoid this at all costs.

6.5 miles. I'm really starting to loathe the treadmill and reallllly miss outdoor running. With the treadmill I can't decipher whether I'm tired or just painfully bored...

I think its the boredom, I lasted 2.10 miles today on my reluctant return to the treadmill. I felt great physically but mentally I just couldn't keep going. I'm proud of my effort though, tomorrow another treadmill run. I'm unwilling to go out in single digit weather, even a crazy runner person has to draw the lines somewhere.

Yikes! Be careful Skinny Teen.

EZ, don't listen to Jo. The consequences are actually much much worse!

3 miles today. Operation Sprint Intervals continues!

[Mrs Snark]

I ran 5.34 miles this morning. Finally Florida got a shot of cooler weather, I think it was low 40s this morning, a nice change.

2009 Run Miles: 45.61... 954.39 to go!

It is funny to read the varying account of welcome and despair about the current cold temperatures. I guess its all in what you are used to!

My rule is no running outside when it is below 5, because it really, really hurts to breathe!

So, 2 miles inside today. Boring!!!!
Only 717.5 to go!!!

[Dianeofnka]

5 miles today!

[thinpossible]

2 more miles for me today. Problem is, if I walk in the morning I don't want to walk at night too, and vice versa. Man I'm lazy. Oh well, the laziness was developed over many years, so I guess the fact I'm exercising 6 days a week is certainly better than nothing. Anyway, should be at 20 miles by the end of the week.

Decided to suck it up and stay on the treadmill, 8.58 miles for me.
