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...skippygirlsmom wrote: »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
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.

It's easy to fall back into couch mode especially when it's dark and cold well is here in Scotland, I'm starting again and going to gym tonight, goodluckI 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)/0 -
11/5, 3.5 miles, outside (after work in the dark!)

11/14, 4.33 miles, treadmill - it's snowing here today. I hope to get outside this weekend and run.

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.

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?0 -
Normally don't run on Fridays, but got 2 miles in for some energy.

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

I have Nike gloves and honestly hate them. Then I was stupid and brought another pair of Nike that were heavier and honestly not much warmer. Again hate them. So I'm going to find something else I'm liking Under Armour right now so I might get a pair from them.Runningmischka wrote: »11/13/2014 - 5 miles, indoors

Ran 3.25 on the treadmill. (About 7 degrees out this morning so not running outside but I am spending the afternoon outside trimming my evergreen trees. Lol). That's as close to running that I will do outside until it warms up. Those of you who run in the cold are rock stars!!!

A 1.5mi Air Force PT test in 9:10 somehow turned into a 7.7mi day with warmup and cooldown.

We are only 90 minutes south of Nashville. If my wife didn't have a race Saturday morning, I would invite you to our group long runs if you had the time and don't mind getting up super early. We leave at 7 AM.0 -

There are a lot of folks I know here that have long runs scheduled at the same time they have a race. What many will do is just tack on the extra milage as soon as they are done with their shorter race.
I figure if you have a 5K Saturday, you will need to do a warm up. So say you get in 2 slow miles to warm up before the race, then race your 5K. You can then just tack on another 4 or 5 miles after the race at a slower pace. Will be a good cool down even. As long as you have no more than a half hour break in between each segment, you may get away with calling that your long run.

That may work....I'll see how it feels tomorrow. I did an easy run this afternoon and my legs felt really heavy. But I didn't realize until I got back that I was in meetings since 7:30 and hadn't eaten all day. So hopefully it was just a 'bad day.'
