JANUARY RUNNING - Oh the weather outside is frightful....

  • Well welcome to [for most of us] a COLD month of winter running! I'm guessing the treadmills will see a lot of action!

    I myself haven't had much to post - I hurt my left foot running 10 miles on Dec. 24th and have been told to rest by foot doc until this Saturday due to a pulled muscle in the foot. I am CHOMPING at the bit to run but my foot felt agitated this morning again...it's extremely frustrating especially since I have a half marathon in Key West on January 19th...I hope someone else has better news to share!
  • Hi I have not run since the 25 th. We got snow that night and everything is mud and ice and since I run on the dirt road....I don't mind the muck,but they are slippery......hoping for Fri. Morn. I work today exercise class tonite.
    IM38 thanks for starting board also Godspeed on your healing! And there will be more races....
  • Thanks Deva! Sorry I didn't start this until Jan 2nd. So I think Cherry took the reigns...I think we'll be posting instead in: Running Resolutely in January....I'll go to it now.
  • I got sick with a very nasty virus that wouldn't let up for over 8 days. Yesterday was my first day back to the gym and I lost a lot of endurance. Can that happen that fast?? Maybe I feel alright but my body isn't 100% yet perhaps?
  • Hi! I'm going to start back running tomorrow after a 2 week break due to sickness =( Training for my first marathon in May! Going to do 'mill runs this week and then do an outdoor long run this weekend. Cant wait!
  • Recovering from my MCL tear and not running has been torture! I decided not to run a marathon in the spring because of the time I've lost, but I have a half at the end of April so I'm going to work on that.

    Today was a slow, muddy 7 miles.
