So by my calculations so far we have 64.3 miles last week. That's 2.45 marathons. Not bad!! Anyone else?

I ran a big fat zero last week although I did get some good cross-training in.

Tri Girl, you're a hardy soul. My hat's off to you for running in all that ice. We got a sleet/snow mix up here in Kansas so we have a "packed snow gravel." It's semi slick - some places you sink a little and others you try to step and next thing you know you're on your butt. I just flat won't run in that. Don't know how you pulled off seven miles on full-fledged ice. Good job! (Yes, it should definitely count as 10 miles!)

I'm going to try to get to the gym and run on the treadmill tomorrow or Thursday and do a long run again over the weekend. More cross training as well.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Add 9.75 to that.

Did a short run to test my ankle as I have been fine walking and balancing on it. It was quite painful on footstrike - which i think is really not helped by the fact I'm a forefoot rather than a midfoot/heel runner. It stopped hurting after twenty minutes but I think that was just the endorphins kicking in. So more resting....

I ran a whopping three -- yes, THREE -- miles last week due to a stomach "thing" that kept me sick for four days. However, I'm back to normal this week. Did three Monday, plan four for tomorrow, three for Friday, and something around 8-10 for Saturday. I would really like to do a local half marathon on March 3. If I do well on Saturday's run I think I'll go ahead with the training for the half. Keep up the good work ladies -- you really do motivate me!

We're up to 80.55 for last week. That's 3.07 marathons. I'm supposed to run today but the weather's crap and I can't run outside. Idon't know if I can face another TM session!!

This is going to take some Iron will.

I did 6 miles this morning... 38° and a cold wind in some parts, but it felt invigorating. I wish my time was better (1:10). Perhaps I will attempt to grow taller this week, I'm getting tired of running on stubs!
