Wow, what a great run this morning! It was about 30F and not too windy thankfully, The Boy was home for the weekend from CO so we went for a run. Did 2 miles out with a quick walk and then 2 miles back. Felt really good the entire time, and it felt great to have someone to run with and talk to the entire time! It really is true what that article I read on some website said the other day, that running really gets the conversation juices flowing!
So that makes it a 10ish mile week for me, and 4 miles was my longest run ever!! I have that great after-run thing going on (and it doesn't hurt that The Boy is making us a yummy breakfast of eggs in the kitchen right now!!)

3.5 for me this morning, 21 degrees, but nice in the woods.
Followed that up with a mt bike ride, not my finest moment, but I was off the bike for two weeks with a neck thing, so I have to get my bike legs back, and it was frickin' cold.
Home, warm in my flannels now...ahhhhhh
oh and bird poop is good luck right, or is that just what they tell you to make you feel better after you have been pooped on?

Good job on your longest run, Kimmy! Way to go!
Did 30 this week. Ran 13 today. Was 35F with a fairly strong N wind. Ick. Marathon training doesn't stop for this cruddy weather. Ran on snow, so it was sllllooooowwww and labored, but I finished. Don't know which was crazier- running 13 in this weather or the 5 min ice bath I took after (ice baths always keep me from being sore, so although I got minor frostbite- it was worth it
).
Stay warm out there ladies!!!!!

Trigirl... that wind will kill you! I'm so glad we didn't run yesterday, the wind was horrendous. Today luckily it was milder and the trees kept the majority of it off us.
BTW your 13 miles totally inspires me! The Boy and I were talking today after our run. We had major adrenaline going afterwards, cooked breakfast, painted a room in the house, cleaned the whole place and then started excitedly planning things we're going to do in the future... and we kinda committed to doing a 1/2 Mary in Indianapolis with his sister and b.i.l. next May!
If you had asked me 6 mos ago, I would have NEVER thought I'd see the day when I was seriously considering a marathon or 1/2 mary! And excited about it to boot!
