Winter Glow - Runs between Jan. 15th and 21st

Good job MD!!

I ran 5 and some miles today for fun. Because my coach told me I need to behave more like a runner. I'm not sure what that means but it was fun to just go out and run without a plan.

Then I went to the bike store and helped a friend spend 1600 clams on a bike. Ahhhhhh, almost as good as buying your own bike.

I did my run this morning. 1:30 run, 1:00 min walk this time. Did 3.25 km. Whooptie-doo....

So I did go out for the 20 km run in the ugly weather.

I felt as if I was in a scene from Rocky. It was just awful, and got worse and worse as the temperature increased a little and the snow turned into puddles.

But the time was good - better than I expected - and I tell myself that comes February there will be nothing to stop me on that half-marathon.

But (bis): running on snow hurts my form quite a bit and one of my legs is really hurting how. Will need to be gentle tomorrow.

I had food, a shower, a nap, and then went out to run some errands. The weather had completely turned itself around in the intervening 90 minutes and there was more than a patch of blue sky. I hope I get to go for a short run tomorrow in such beautiful weather.

Be kind to yourselves ladies! And enjoy the pounding of your shoes, wherever they may take you!

OK here it is, accountability post.

I'm going out for a short fun jog, just because.

Now if only I can find some clean tights...

Interval day today, last hard workout before race day.

Howling wind straight down the beach, 30 mph steady, gusting to 40 mph. My downwind intervals were over 2:30/mile faster than the upwind ones! I came home with sand all over me and grinning the whole downwind leg

I have to laugh how many of us (me included) use this thread for accountability, aka we have to drag ourselves out for a run. It's like hitting myself in the head with a hammer... it feels so good when I stop
