January Thaw... 1/8 through 1/14 runs!

Five miles No walking AND I my average was under 10 minutes per mile. Oddly enough, I felt better on this run than on my normal 2.5-3.5 mile runs. It was very nice.

Re age-ism, it's silly. I know that some things are slightly easier the younger you are but the most important thing is dedication and training. Some of the best endurance athletes I've been around have been older. The only thing I don't appreciate about age is just that it feels like it takes me so freakin' long to recover sometimes!!!

Simulated 5K today, total of 4.9 miles with warmup and cool-down. I held just over a 9 minute pace for my race distance. Was hoping for better, but I can live with that and maybe do a little better come race day. I'm figuring on two more interval days before that.

A little over six miles for me in the slush and relative cold. I had a blast wet tights, shoes and all.

Haha. I'm not doing so well sticking to my target of running 2-3 times a week. Only went once last week, and will likely only get out once this week, then I'm away next week and may or may not take the running shoes with me... Should be easier to stick to a routine after that though as I'll be back at work then.

It's pouring rain (again), pitch-black dark (for another half-hour) and I am going out for an hour.

That's a crazy sport.

I have a nice clip-on white LED now but I need one for my back too.

I'll finish my run on the beach so it's a happy finish.

Ok, will report.

(I seem to be using this thread for accountability purposes.)

Accountibility is good, Grog! Half the times I think I only do workouts so I can log them in my BT account. It keeps me motivated.

Took the morning off running, the girls were doing an 8 mile run and I was feeling some slight twinges from the hill run on Tuesday. I'll make a trip to the gym today and test out my new shoes on the treadmill.

Signed up for 2 trail runs over the winter. 7.25 and 9 miles. I'm excited because they seem like really fun races. Plus it's something to do in the cold rainy winter (I feel like I've forgotten what snow is, in the mid-atlantic these past few years....)

I didn't have too much time this morning so I did a 1 mile warm-up. Followed by 10 spring hill repeats. And then a 1-mile cool down. Man, did I feel energized after that!
