@ddmom0811 right? And I still have 2 days to get in MORE miles. And I laid out this week with a meager 7 miles accumulated. Hmm, perhaps I should check my math.
@SBRRepeat ya, that what he said. He should have beat me by 5 minutes or better. Now I'm impatiently waiting the official results so I can see how many I'm my age group I beat! Muahahahah!0 -

@shanaber Sorry to hear your run didn't go well today. Next one will be better again for sure!
@ddmom0811 : Kudos on facing the cold! Freezing hands are always the worst for me - I finally broke down and bought myself some really warm running gloves - just in time for the weather to get warmer ;-)
@Elisa4270 and @Abakan: congratilations on the great race times!
I tried a new route today and decided I don't like it. I got to gain some elevation (at least in flatlander-terms ;-) ) in a nice flat climb, only to loose it all again in one steep descent down a grassy slope. That was so slippery from the rain that I had to slow to a walk to keep from falling. I need to replan that course before I head that way again...

Thank you. It was entirely unexpected, after all the trouble with my ankle. I think I'm still in shock. The ankle is doing well, now. I think my treadmill is calibrated poorly - 5.5 mph feels difficult, but now I know that I can average 10 minute miles for 5 consecutive miles. So the treadmill MUST be "off." That's ok, I guess, if this is what happens...
I had to walk for a minute just after the 4 mile marker - I got a stitch in my side - but it eased up quickly, and I finished running. It was a pretty good race, very crowded. Way too cold to stand around in the corrals for so long - part of that was my own impatience. 32 degrees walking to the site from the train, 36 degrees on the way back. It started sleeting just before I made it into the train station. I'm glad I was finished running.

Was going to do a 5-6 mile recovery run today, but I took one look at my Brooks and couldn't make myself put them on. I'm due a bike focused training cycle- three months of focusing on run mileage is getting tough.
60 minute yoga class and a 24 mile bike ride for me today. Got caught in a lovely hail storm about two miles from home. 0 -

Took a quick weekend trip out of the country, doing my Saturday run on the treadmill, as it was 17 degrees (farenheit) outside and I didn't pack any super-warm running clothes.
