    Another snow storm here... snowed in again... so no run for me yesterday. Off to the ymca for younger sons swim class this morning so forced myself to do 3 miles on the treadmill. My knee was really hurting, so had to slow way down for the last mile... 10:30 split, but got it done.

    I'm now 13 weeks out for my half. "Official" training starts next week. Starting to worry. Think I'm just psyching myself out, but my knee hurts off and on, and morning sickness is starting to hit (and it's all day sickness in reality!) Trying to be positive, went back thru my email to print off my race registration as added motivation today! Think I'll think less about time, and more about finishing... faster would be bonus...

    @poke987‌
    Knee problems are the absolute worst. I freak out every time I even feel the slightest niggle in my knee. I really hope that it doesn't turn into anything serious for you.
    Have you had any knee issues previously? Try not to psyche yourself too bad without knowing what's really going on.

    Also, I think that finishing would be an awesome accomplishment given your expecting status.

    My run yesterday looked like this:
    1.5 mi run (9:56 pace)
    6 x 30 sec fast, 60 seconds slower (Average pace on fast segments- 7:03)
    1.5 mi run (9:47 pace)

    Scheduled for 6 miles today. Hoping to get that done outside before the snow gets here.

    I knocked out 8.5 km's at lunchtime in the snow.
    Pace was way slower than usual for the same heart rate (slippy).
    Nice to run in the relative warm of -7C though.

    not sure if you ever heard this before but when i had knee/achilles issues, my PT recommended doing more core & hip stabilization exercises (basically lots of yoga and pilates) to help strengthen all the "connectors" and it worked wonderfully! i rarely have achilles issues and haven't had one bit of knee pain since being more serious about core work!

    4 mile run yesterday in 39:16, felt pretty good.

    I ordered new running shoes in a wider size, hoping that will help with blister issues on the side of the ball of my foot. They came yesterday, guess I'll try them out on my long run tomorrow.

    Supposed to rest today, but I might just take advantage of the freakishly warm weather to get the bicycle out today.

    I had heard this. Thanks for the input. Guess it would be good for me to start! I'm up for anything at this point... just need to commit and make time to do it!

    Our roads are still not clear, and more sniw is on the way... i had an unhappy time at the y this morning. Darn treadmill died while I was running... twice. Just turned itself off. First time I thought maybe I had hit the front and stopped it. But, nope. Started up and then it died again. Was around 1.8 miles the first time, I think... but had a long warm up walk...but can't be sure of exact numbers since I hadn't looked in a while. Then maybe just .2 the second time. Told the lady, she stood beside me... and nope, it behaved itself perfectly ... got 1.5 with no trouble. Sigh. So. I call it my usual treadmill run of 3 miles.

    Nausea is starting to get worse.... i feel like i need to be eating all the time, or feel awful sick. And carbs. Oh the carbs! Guess I don't have to worry about being under fueled! Hopefully the pukes stay at bay, it was bad with #2, I'm feeling more like I did with #1 though, so fingers crossed! Tomorrow starts my official training countdown... 12 weeks to my half... but the Higdon program I'll do begins monday!

    14 miles today. I used intervals for the first 12 today instead of just running to give my shins a break, and then picked up the pace for the last two miles.
