    4 mile run (39:29) at the gym yesterday. 56 laps plus 7 walking laps. I think we might finally get real winter weather next week, starting Sunday.

    I've got a race on Sunday, and the current forecast is -20C with another 10 degrees of wind-chill.

    I did a race a couple of weeks ago in similar conditions, and the big lesson was that I need to wear wind blocking shorts over my running tights! I was seriously considering removing my mitts and using them elsewhere in that race!

    Hopefully I'll get in an easy run today, and a rest day tomorrow.

    11 miles today in 2 hours and 9 minutes. Going to start concentrate on running well rather than adding distance.

    That's awesome! I couldn't do it. Treadmill makes me dizzy.

    I ran 9 miles (1:32:45) on Saturday and another 2 (19:42) today, finishing up week 12 of my 20 week half plan. My legs had nothing left after the run yesterday, but I felt good today!

    I've finished the 1/2 Novice 2 plan 2 weeks ago so now I just do 5k/10k/5k during the week and 21k Saturdays. I can't wait to get outside and run in the spring. Ya the treadmill is hard to overcome but I had to embrace it cause I'm not running for 2 hours in -30c weather LOL

    Nothing for me today. We got ice and snow last night and my gym is closed. I guess I needed a rest day anyway!
