    January goal - 35 miles

    1/3 - 1.5 miles - put on my new fleece lined pants a couple of shirts, jacket, new buff & gloves and hit the street. It was 25 degrees. Not too bad, think i'll try it again tonight.
    1/6 - 6.5 only 25 degrees, but great run. I can't believe how much more I like running in the cold than the heat.
    1/7 - 2.5 warmer, 50 degrees, but a cool wind and I didn't bundle up enough for the first part.
    1/9 - 2.0 miles
    1/20 - 6.5 Spent a week resting my foot. Did just fine, and no after effects to the run.
    Bought a new pair of running shoes, thought maybe getting back to rotating would be helpful. I know I tend to roll out when I run, so bought some that are supposed to help with that (who knows).


    total so far - 19

    Felt so damn good this morning I had to run another 90 second interval and kicked up the mph another .5. I loved how that felt, even though I was out of breath! And that led to spontaneous smiling and tears; I suppose because it just feels so good to *finally* DO what I've wanted to DO and not spend my life sitting on the couch surfing Facebook feeling envious of everyone else. No one can stop me now! Have a great day everyone! :)

    Runkeeper just sent me this... I started half marathon training at the end of March last year. I know I have more miles than they report because it doesn’t have any of my treadmill runs on there. Still it’s kinda cool.

    Do you have a Premium? Nice overview and your mileage is awesome.

    Anyone know about raising money for charity... I'm thinking about raising money to help support one of my paras, who just got diagnosed with cancer. figure with 4 big races this year and the training for it, I could help out by setting up some sort of fund drive along with it.

    I have 6 easy miles on tap for this evening. It's 36 degrees, windy and raining. I find this to be among the most unpleasant running weather. I am trying to decide if it's worth hitting the dreadmill. Either way, I am not looking forward to this run.

    @lporter229 I agree 100% what awful weather.

    @MobyCarp congrats on the award and check, but an even bigger congrats on the quad progress
    @rheddmobile the nature encounter sounds very cool!
    @_nikkiwolf_ once a shoe is screwed you wouldn't want to use them on pavement, but the shoe can be unscrewed and use normally. Use screw shoes on pavement is so much uncomfortable as it is annoyingly noisy. It's rare I use screw shoes. In my first two winters I used them maybe 3 or 4 times. I used them last night for the first time this winter but I don't think I needed to.
