(Long and Less Long) Runs- 1/15/07 to 1/21/07

[KSH]

Just starting the thread!

I ran Sunday, so I probably won't run tonight.

I am out of town from 1-20 to 1-24 in Florida. I hope I get some "free" time away from the J-O-B to run, but I doubt it. They like to work us 14-16 hours a day at these off site meetings.

Brick today....with the DH

I even did a little dance in the driveway during transition to the tune of Brick House...somethin' about the "she's mighty, mighty" part that I love...

Bricks...strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.....

Good job girls!
Since we're trapped in the land of Antarctica (alright, so it's Oklahoma, but just iced over nicely), and since my wimpy gym has been closed for 4 days and I haven't been able to go outside, I FINALLY ran today. Did 7 miles on the snow/ice. Wasn't too treacherous, but was definitely a tough workout. Man, I was doing my best to do 13-14 min/miles. Snow/ice sure does slow a body down. Do you think the 7 really counts as 10?????

Hopefully I can run on the treadmill tomorrow at the gym for some much smoother trekking.

Be safe out there, and run happy!

KSH- have fun in Florida. The weather should be much nicer than Dallas!

I think it would be fun to post our mileage for the week on Sunday so we can add them together and see how many marathons we ran together as a group.

Last week I logged 19 miles.

Anyone else want to play?

[rocknrollgirl]

I will play...9

[Tri Girl]

I'll play-
last week I logged a measly 14 miles (no runs for 4 days due to ice- grrrrrr). Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have a marathon in- yikes - 9 weeks!

Good job runner girls- keep adding those miles up!

Not too much running last week - I need to start upping my miles on foot, and less on bike. Anyways, I did 7.3 miles, would like to get closer to 10 this week.

Let's play!

I did 15 and half last week.

[Wahine]

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....

[kaybee]

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.
