Not snowing yet here! Though I'm sure it won't be long!

I am in pretty much the same place as Emily...just breaking 4-5 mile runs and did one yesterday evening around 8:00. I was procrastinating and thinking I maybe would just take the day off, but then talked to my mom on the phone and needed to go. So I did a nice, quiet 4.25 mile loop around the neighborhood. I am trying to pick up the pace toward the end of my run - one block up tempo, next block back to my 8.5 mm pace...I do feel like it's helping me with my speed overall. I'm not ready to get too technical (don't know if I ever will want to). But it feels good, so I'll keep at it.

I've had some soreness in my left leg/knee...can't really isolate where the pain is exactly...but it works itself out once I've gone a mile or two. Still has me going, hmmm, though...I am at the point where I could use a new pair of shoes...but probably need to hold off until the next paycheck (because I also need a good light for bike commuting). Never enough cash around for all those fun things at once!

My DH is really excited...he is now hunting for 5K's for us to do together. And we're looking at the possibility of a 10K in the next few months. Which I guess puts us in the dead of winter...but we'll find something.
