It's my therapy too! I feel 100 times better than I did driving home from work. 5 tread miles.

2 more miles today, bringing me up to 11 since Sunday. :)

I'm really struggling! I think the weather has got me down. I had to force myself to do 4 miles lastnight, hopefully I can get in at least 6 tonight... I can't believe I'm already losing steam, I need some motivation!

You and me both I've taken 3 days off in the last week and today I have no desire to run. I'm glad I started out so motivated that I've passed my monthly goal thanks to my garmin obsession. I knew this would happen eventually. I blame the cold weather, its kept me on the treadmill for my past 5 runs, I just can't take it anymore.

I've been sick for days :( and couldn't run anywhere. (Well, except to the bathroom :dizzy:).

Finally got my butt moving today for 1.5 miles but it was HARD!!! :devil: Now I've got to get in 12.5 miles more before the end of the month. :running:

It's really tough to run in bad weather! What I find is helpful is doing a *little* bit of something -- just enough to remind myself that I like to get my body moving, that I need to keep up the practice, and hopefully keep up my mood (because I've found exercise is *really* helping my mood).

Yesterday: 1.5 miles on the treadmill. After an hour of weights, it was all I could drag out of myself.

Two more miles on the bike and one on the elliptical, for the first time in four years. I was so proud. :)

Jackie there's hope! Today it was -10 with little wind and I had a fabulous run! 7 miles for me:carrot:. I'm in massive amounts of pain because lots of hills and the transition from the treadmill to outdoors is painful. No matter how many incline intervals I do etc. nothing can mimic the outdoors:mad:.

1.5 in today. Maybe it's TMI but i'm doing a detox cleanse right now and running isn't good for my insides at the moment... hahaha

JackieRn 01-22-2009 11:52 PM

sm: I'm the same way about transitioning to the outdoors I find it strange that there are people who run better outdoors than they do on the treadmill, I wish that were me that is not the case. Great Job getting out there.

I procastinated all day and went to the Y to run, its still snowing and what I would be doing out there would not be running so I've decided to cut my loses and stick with it. Another 12.01 miles.

I've promised my self that I will run trails in the spring. I used to do a bit of sporadic trail running about 3 years ago but never bothered to get trail shoes. Does anyone have a brand they recommend?

Dianeofnka 01-23-2009 12:05 AM

4.5 miles on the treadmill.

JulieJ08 01-23-2009 10:00 AM

30 miles run, 470 to go :)

kittycat40 01-23-2009 10:08 AM

Such great energy on this thread! Go Team Go!! :)

2 outside with 3lb handweights. wanted 6 but dh staying home and 2yr old being up at 4am kinda got in the way. (ok, I let it get in the way. ;))

But I am good and sweaty now. And am trying to power out 2 more hiit on tread later. I have some tivo shows to keep my boredom somewhat at bay.

TGIF!
