  • Grrr....I'm going to go back to read to catch up, but I just have to share that I haven't run in a week! Between sub-zero temperatures, gym (at work) hours and my meeting schedule I can't fit a run in to save my life. Tomorrow I am going to run, whether it is outside or on the treadmill. I usually go over my lunch hour, but if I don't time that exactly right the treadmills are full. Of course that wouldn't matter this week because I've basically been chained to my desk and haven't taken a lunch hour. It's making me really cranky too. I will run tomorrow, and hopefully it will be above zero degrees this weekend so I can also run on the weekend!

    /rant off

    Hope everyone is doing great and I will be back with more miles...hopefully soon!
  • 3 miles today. My shin is hurting again so tomorrow is a day off.
  • 6 miles today. I couldn't run the past two days and tomorrow is a no go either. I'm going to do a nice long run either on Saturday or Sunday to make up for it!
  • 2.4 miles for me today, then a lower body workout with my new adjustable weights. I did hill intervals on the treadmill, which was challenging enough to keep me from being bored. Actually, it was just challenging period! I didn't even have the incline set all the way up. Obviously I've been spoiled here in FL where there are few hills. I'll just keep doing the hills and think about running a 5K back home in WV where we have big hills.
  • Jenguin...I hear that! I haven't posted here in 2 or 3 days so he's my stats:

    Weds I got up to run outside and I knew I was going to have a GREAT run. 1/4 mile into it I spotted a small black bear in the middle of my path. I was shocked! So I turned around and headed home. I didn't want to NOT exercise so like a fool I did dashes in front of my house for speedwork w/o warming up properly. Yes...I have shin splints now that I am nursing.

    So that afternoon I did walk a speedy 3 miles at work inside too.

    yesterday no running due to work being so hectic that I had no time before work to get out there. I walked 3 miles in the afternoon inside at work.

    Today: nursing shin splints and it was 10 below with the wind chills so...NO THANKS! I will walk my 3 or 4 miles downstairs at work this afternoon and that will be it.

    Tomorrow I will do a 10 mile trail run at 7am.

    NSV ladies....I added more fruit and carbs back into my diet and my 4.5 week stall lifted! The scale went down 2.5 lbs!!!! woohoooo!!!!!!
  • Baby it's cold outside! Ran/walked 5 miles on treadmill today.
  • Hi everyone! I haven't been on this site in over two years. I came across this thread & thought it might help to motivate me. I was a competitive runner from age 8 thru college. I'd love to get back into it! Because of current health concerns, I can't run yet, but I can certainly walk! I'm going to shoot for 500 miles and hopefully I can start running in a few months.
  • I had aNSV yesterday! I jogged 4 miles in 45! I dont understand.. it was like teh best run i have ever had in my life!! i could have gone for ever and i just had all this energy!
    Anyway.. dang.. i love a good run!
  • Wow-- everyone is sounding so great!!
    2 miles on the treadmill today.
  • + 3.5 miles!
  • +2 miles today... A little sad that it wasn't more than that, I had planned to at least match the 4.5 of Wednesday, but considering it was 29 degrees I just had to stop! My cheeks are still cold!
  • Took the mutts out for 2.5 after being away at work for 2 days.

    26.5/1000 MILES
  • I only did 2 miles today because the treadmill is murdering me with boredom. I also did the 30 day shred to see what all the hype is about, I liked the strength stuff but the rest was pretty boring. I'm praying for warmer weather! Today was sooo cold a quarter of the city lost power! Poor Toronto!
  • Whoops, I haven't updated this group in a while Sorry about that!

    I've been running, though! 10 miles yesterday, 3 today, and if I finish tomorrow's run that puts me at my first 30 mile week ever! I'm so freaking excited!
  • A gorgeous morning here for a walk with the dogs in a long-sleeve t-shirt and shorts.
