Leaping through Feb - 29 days of Running!

[Selkie]

I ran at work on Thursday morning--4.75 miles. The minute I stepped outside, it started to drizzle and as the run progressed, the rain got steadier (still light, not a downpour). Last 1.5 miles, it tapered back to drizzle and stopped in time for my post-run stretch. I wore a hat w/a visor and it wasn't too cold (high 40s/low 50s), so once I got past the mental UGH, it was actually a good run.

I love that picture Oak posted!

Seems like it's raining every Saturday lately. Blech. So it was back to the treadmill this morning, for 8 miles. I'm going to have to move my long run to another day, this is getting silly...

18 today. Hoo-eee. I think I know why my one friend runs at least five marathons a month ... it keeps him from ever having to build up mileage for the next one.

The rain stopped early enough that DH and I could do our Sunday long run at the usual time. The pavement was wet but thankfully, no ice (it was about 37 degrees). Saw more people out running today than we usually do at sunrise.

Felt very good/strong today.

You have a friend who runs at least five marathons a month?!!! Wow!

I totally bailed on my 9-miler I was supposed to do yesterday Not sure what to do now. Try and make it up? Replace a shorter run this week with the 9-miler? Double-up on two workouts this week? Forget about and move on? I don't know!!!!!!

My philosophy is usually forget about it and move on. Life just sometimes gets in the way.

Did 4 miles in San Francisco yesterday morning. The Embarcadero is very quiet at 5 AM on a Sunday.

We did our usual intervals this morning.

This.

But then, since I'm such a newb, I just try to focus on the weekly total, and not on any one run. Sunday, I was "supposed" to do a 6.5 miler. But, unlike Selkie (cough, cough ) I looked out at the cold, damp dreary morning, and I popped a DVD in the t.v. and jogged (can't honestly say I ran) for 65 minutes on the dread-mill while watching the boob tube. Ended up with 4.8. I'll try to make some of it up later in the week. But if I don't, I will try not to beat myself up about it.
