@italysharon and @n2garden56 happy birthday! My girl V's birthday is today. Here's a song for all of you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4VZF8PRvs0

@ddmom0811 I waded through snow to get to the road, then it was just another run.
@shanaber I really was planning just one mile, but the roads weren't that bad except for one less travelled stretch so I just kept going around my smallest loop. It was windy, but all in all nothing like they predicted.
I think we only got 15 inches of snow. It's hard to say because of the wind, for every place the kids measured 20" there was some where else that's only 12".

Current Streak: 157days = 1012.1miles

1/1/2015: 3.94 miles outside
1/2/2015: 3.46 miles treadmill
1/3/2015: 1.95 miles outside, because I was too lazy to drive to the gym (?!)
1/4/2015: 4.34 miles treadmill, driving to the gym was terrifying (ask me about my POS car.)
1/5/2015: Rest (replaced car and dealt with insurance)
1/6/2015: Rest (still dealing with insurance - switching to new agency)
1/7/2015: 3.52 miles treadmill (and running around with old insurance agency, some more!)
1/9/2015: 4.21 miles treadmill
1/12/2015: 3.5 miles treadmill
1/14/2015: 6.99 miles treadmill (I did 2 Zombies, Run! missions, one with hills and one flat, and added the mileage when I got home, or that would be an even 7.)
1/16/2015: 3 treadmill and 3 treadmill - competing against my brother. I failed in the morning and went back to try again in the afternoon. Beat his time by 27 seconds.
1/19/2015: 1 mile on the treadmill in my brother's gym about 10 seconds slower than his. My lungs finally feel a bit better. That was the dustiest nasty treadmill I hope to ever use. There are ruts worn into the platform that made my run feel like I was running in an icy wheel rut. But the rock salt and dust was worse than the bumpy ride. Ugh.
1/20/2015: 3 miles treadmill
1/26/2015: 6.04 miles treadmill 27 miles left, in 5 days. That seems a tiny bit ambitious, for me.
1/27/2015: 6.09 miles treadmill
1/28/2015: 5.34 miles treadmill - I have asked my husband to help me in these last 3 days to be accountable for my mileage. He understands that it is all his fault if I do not reach my goal (j/k).

1/2 - 3.48 miles
1/12 - 3.16 miles
