An outbreak of the runs...Jan. 29-Feb. 4

Actually, I didn't even run today--had a 10-hour clinical day so just wasn't able to fit it in. I just saw that nobody had started the thread yet!

3 miles on the treadmill. I really need to get outside!!

4 km in the snow yesterday, another perhaps 7 today? We'll see what the new running partner has in store. It's rest week anyway so I hope she's not thinking anything hard!

Nice subject line....

I've been running outside on Sundays--usually about three miles--with a group of friends since early January and doing run/walk intervals twice a week after spinning at the Y. After a few more or less "successful" weeks of this, I started to feel like the intervals causing a bit of a mental block. My friends motivate me to run without stopping, but when left to my own devices, it's harder to keep at it, especially when that speed button on the treadmill is glaring at me.

Last night, I challenged myself to run on the treadmill for as long as I could without stopping. I made it to 19 minutes before slowing to a walk for about 50 seconds. Then I ran for another 6 minutes before the tornado sirens (we had some really crazy weather last night) sounded and we had to take shelter. All in all, I'm pleased that I got over that hump.

Yikes! That is one thing we don't have to worry too much about in this part of the country. At least you weren't running outside when the sirens went off--that would be scary!

Seriously. At least four people died last night in southern Indiana. One town west of Indianapolis reported winds in excess of 80 mph. It was pretty intense.
