    11/13 - 8.62 miles - oh good night it's cold, I don't know how you folks in the North do it.

    Total: 68.55 miles out of 100
    First, nice run this morning... second, looks like you are going to totally blow past your goal.... three, running in the cold grows on you. Today was the first day with a little bite to it (about 27 degrees with the wind) and it started getting me mentally excited about this winter. Don't get me wrong, I hate the cold and I hate winter. I would much rather be in Key West or further south, but when it comes to running, I love the challenge of frigid weather and harsh elements... it really toughens you up...

    Thanks on one and two! It was I think 32 when I went out with a wind chill of 28. I listened to everyone's advice on what to wear and I was good by mile one, very comfortable except when I turned to the North or East where the 15 mph wind was coming from. Even then it was more the pain of the wind fighting against me than actually cold. But I didn't die so success is mine! LOL

    The polar vortex is no joke. I also took everyone's advice and layered up yesterday for a 5.5 mile run. My body was fine....but my fingers were absolutely freezing. I was wearing some Nike gloves that were barely better than not wearing anything.

    I've got a 5k at my kid's school Saturday and race time temps will be about 29*. I need to find something that's a little warmer. Fortunately it's just a 5k, so I can suck it up..but I'm really hoping to find something warm to run in the rest of winter.

    I ran my first half in September and haven't run at all since then. I need some accountability/motivation to get me back in my running shoes. Setting a low goal...I just need to get back off the couch!

    I'm cold just thinking about all of you running in the snow. Personally I'm worried about the heat here. The last time I tried running was in 2011, and I finished my C25K program in late November and then just never ran again when I finished because it was too hot. This time I finished the program in early October, and I'm liking running way more than I did then but I am worried I won't motivate myself to do it when it's above 30 (which it is most of the time)/

    I'm back! Missed October goal by about 10 miles. (Unexpected busy work schedule.) November’s goal will be lower than usual for me as I couldn't run during the first week and have my 2nd half on Thanksgiving Day so I will be tapering. Focusing on speed for a sub 2:15 half in December.

    11/1 - No excuse...
    11/2 – 6.01 miles (easy)
    11/3-8 - Busy Work Schedule
    11/9 – 10.01 miles (long)
    11/10 - Rest Day
    11/11 – 6.17 miles (8x800)
    11/12 – 3.01 miles (easy)
    11/13 – 7.48 miles (5x1)
    11/14 - Rest Day

    Well, I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill....I much prefer to run outside, BUT it is so cold. I need to invest in some good cold weather running clothes. :)

    I gotta figure out how to dole out mileage for this weekend. Normally I do a 5-6 mile run on Friday and was scheduled to do my a long run 8-10 on Sunday. But I'm running a 5k at my son's school tomorrow morning. (I really want to go hard for a PB.)

    I'm thinking an easy 3 today, run the race tomorrow and just do 5-6 on Sunday. Is that a reasonable approach?

    My daughter and I are running a 5K tomorrow so I did a quick 2.8 miles this morning just to get my legs moving. I would either take off today or do the easy 3 miles and see how I felt Sunday. If I was feeling good I'd do my 8 - 10 otherwise if I was sore from the race (or my legs were tired) I'd do the 5 - 6 miles. Enjoy the 5K
