    It snowed last night, so I'm kind of excited about running, snow is much better than sleet and doesn't hurt your face :wink: I think I will shoot for at least 3 again, maybe more...

    Ran 7 this morning. I was having one of those "hate" days in my love/hate relationship with this running thing. Tomorrow's another day, right? :tongue:

    How do you run in the winter? Here in my small town the roads almost all turn into ice in the winter... Can I still run on it?

    Well if I'm running somewhere snow-packed or icy, I use my yak-trax, they were like $35, they are a coil thing that you just strap on your shoe, most running stores have them, avoid the spike kind though, they can hurt you and others and get dull.

    Hi guys! I only ran 4 today. I ended up doing more cardio, the stair master thing that is like an escalator (hate it!) and then some strength. I was feeling kind of dizzy and sick to my stomach. I guess tomorrow is another day!

    8.63 miles this afternoon in horizontal rain. It was 65 though so nice so not too cold. Not like some of you do. I got a Garmin Forerunner 305. It runs off GPS to track miles, pace and more. It also has a HR monitor. I am interested to test it in my 10k on Saturday and see how it tracks on a measured course. Today it seemed to be right in there on both distance and pace. I averaged 10:22/mile.

    Run the tangents!!! That's what my coach always tells us before a race, and believe me, if your race is 26.2 miles long, you really ought to do that. You can end up running almost an extra 1/2 mile if you don't, and after than many hours running you don't want to run even a foot more than you have to!:laugh: :bigsmile: :wink:

    Shortest distance from one point to another, don't follow the curvy roads, cut a straight line, don't weave in and out of people, believe me, it wastes a lot of energy!
