    Easy 5k - usually today would be speedwork but we plan on running the Winter off-road 5k course at race pace on Tuesday, so that is going to count for this week’s speedwork.

    It was 42 degrees but a very chilly 42! Damp with a high wind. Not too bad while running but we cut our walk afterwards to the minimum. We usually pass several runners and walkers, and today we only passed one guy, running, wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He looked like he was running for his life trying to stay warm!

    That’s it for me for January, I think I did 102 miles? Running plus walking. That’s about 20 miles less than I have been doing, since I stopped running while my husband shopped because it’s too dangerous to shop now. Instead of getting out and running something on that day, I added an extra lifting day, since it’s winter and one less running day per week means we can move runs around when the weather is bad.

    All in all a productive month, did well on the first two races of my homegrown series, and got in practice for the next race. Looking forward to February!

    Hanging out in the C's, really curious where you'll end up running in my country :p

    @kgirlhart Great run. Love your running buddy. I hope he stays safe. Great job exceeding your goal for the month!

    @rheddmobile Great month. I feel for the guy in shorts. I've had those days you think it is warm based on the thermometer, but you freeze and question you sanity after you get out.

    @mbaker566 That snow is beautiful, but looks so cold. Glad Sophie likes to run. Maybe that will keep her out of trouble...a tired dog is a good dog, you know.
