    @PastorVincent - can you at least change your base layer? A dry shirt under everything would make a big difference, and for a 5k it wouldn't even need to be a tech shirt.

    March goal: 96 miles

    3/6: 4.1 miles
    3/7: 4.6 miles
    3/8: 5 miles

    The weather today was so nice. 72°f and sunny with a little wind, but not too much. I got 5.2 miles in. It was awesome. Tomorrow I'm going to run at lunch since I will be driving to Round Rock after work to see my daughter. I figure I should be able to get about 3 miles. I'm on track for my goal this month.

    @skippygirlsmom Yikes on the ribs! Hope they heal quickly!

    Older kid helpfully woke us up by throwing up all over our bed. So today was spent queasy because I don't handle that well and I walked instead of running. Hoping this bug gives me a miss as I've a race Sunday and my last race was awful after struggling with a stomach bug the day prior.

    I rescheduled my blood donation from earlier this week to a week after my April half marathon. Figured the timing was better.

    @skippygirlsmom I hope you feel better soon and I'm glad you went to the doctor , even if you didn't like what he had to say.

    55.4 / 80

    Great run on trail during soccer practice. Definitely more of those to come, but going to have to see about what it looks like to run at 630pm and then again at 430am. Not attempting it tomorrow, though. I will do any easy few miles tomorrow evening, but I've had longer than usual short runs this week, so I will stick with a brisk lunchtime walk and maybe a short run tomorrow eve.

    Good share @juliet3455 ! I am forever needing trail references when we are on the road because *kitten*.the.treadmill. I'mma start that revolt for real :D ////// BUT THEY HAVE HALO TOP IN CANADA NOW!!!! So I'm making him buy me some and bring it home :D #fatkidforever

    @JessicaMcB Un-fortunately not very many Canadian/Alberta trails in there yet. I will have to dig out 3 of my favorites for PR and 2 for GP and 1 from Jasper from my garmin records.
    Someone needs to drop the Grande Cache/CDR trails Hint Hint o:) if they have them.

    4.4 km climb on 12 ft Davis Hill, with my club friends.
    More of a Walk Run as we were doing to much social planning.

    @MNLittleFinn I can imagine you've braved worse. He could always just pick one race to run but we know that's not an option for Pastor

    heh... actually running a third race too, a 1 miler after the 5k... but I figure I can run the 5k course twice in the allotted time...

    If a change of clothing not feasible, the only other thought I have is make your day about running 20 miles as part of your marathon training. i.e. Run your HM - say that takes you 1:50, (13.1) take a restroom break/water/fuel....and then quickly get out again for another 50 minutes or so (i.e. 5 Miles) timing your arrival for another break if needed and then your 5K (3.1) in 30 min....total at or around 20 miles+, little over 3 hours of running....nothing you haven't done before.

    13+ 3 + 1 = so 17 miles... and probably will do the 5k twice so thats already 20 miles. :) But that is not a horrible idea. I could change what I can, and go run for 40-50 mins and sorta turn the 5k in to a "fast finish run"

    You know, if I can find a portapotty I can probably change out the base layer. I have a second shirt, just with out the hood, but I do have a separate hood if it comes to that. Hmm the pants might be an issue, but for the 5k maybe I can just put on cheap sweat pants.

    @PastorVincent Standing around in wet clothes for an hour in 30 degree temps is neither smart nor manly. Find a second set of clothes for the 5k and a jacket to wear between and after.

    This much I know. I figure the absolute fall back would be to sit in my parked truck for 50 mins with the heat on, but not sure if that is good for the engine?

    @skippygirlsmom June seems so far away, but it’s good you know you don’t want to run the half hurt. I hope all heals well and fast.

    @amymoreorless That pollen sounds like no fun!

    @PastorVincent I also vote for dry clothes over ideal ones, and no standing around in the cold! Warm car sounds pretty good for at least 1/2 the time.

    Today was my first run plus bike commute day—my ride home is 4 miles, the most of which is a steady uphill, but it went fine. I ran right before heading home, so it was a little like a reverse brick. Luckily it was pretty nice out—50s and still pretty sunny. I’m trying to not push things running this week while I add the biking in, so will just do the biking tomorrow, and hope my legs are good for it after today. Daylight savings put a little glitch in my easy morning run plans, but I managed yesterday (with no biking), and hope to try again on Friday (with biking right after, but the ride to work is 5 mi downhill except for the last 5 blocks or so). I commuted by bike a good chunk of last year, til my busy travel season in fall, and it feels good to get back to it.
