Day off work due to weather!  Got out this morning before the blizzard totally shuts us in.  2 miles into the wind but the next 2 miles the wind blew me home (almost felt like I was cheating).  18 degrees., 20 mph wind.  Added an extra layer but got pretty warm.

Well what a run!  I decided since I had the day off due to weather it was a gift that I could use to take a run-after shoveling the driveway.  It was 18 degrees and 25 mph winds from the north west (news said gusts up to 40 but i don't know about that!).  I ran in the field for some of it cuz the snow was not as deep as in the road.  What an adventure!!  Just got a call that I am off work again tomorrow too-gonna be awful cold though, high of 11.

I set a PR-unfortunately not for speed or distance but for coldest temp I've run in! 5 degrees!  But the sun is shining and the wind is only 7mph so it is actually beautiful out and the extra layer i put  on way too much, I had to take some off after 2 miles. Always an adventure!

Prefect day for a run.  Got out early before the winds pick up!  First 8 mile run ever, didn't time myself.  I will next week.  20 degress winds only 8mp - took a new route-nice.

My first 9 miles ever! I feel great!!! It is finally 29 degrees which feels like a heat wave! only 10 mph winds.  I left off a layer of clothes and it was perfect!  Had a lot of hills.  Ran to a state park, around the lake and back home-even had sunshine!!!  WAhoo! Spring is coming.  I know it was a slow run but I am in the just being able to do it mode, not speed (yet).

Thought it would be warmer today and didn't take enouh clothes to work to run at lunch.  Ran at 4:30 after work-after 3 miles got a side stitch, don't know if dehydrated or the salad i had for lunch talking.  Very slow run.

I couldn't stop smiling! I was in capris, short socks and 1 shirt!!!  It is so exciting to see the ice melting in the river!  I know this won't last but it sure was nice!!  47 degrees - wahoo

Well, set anothr PR-HAHA mine are never speed related!  I ran in 30 mph wind-straight into it for 2 of the miles!  It is 56 degress - i wore shorts today!!!!!  A first for the year.  Thanks to the help of my new best friend I have some new "support" on its way.  I wore a hydration belt today to see what it would be like before going out on a long run with it.  It's different - I will have to get used to it so i was glad I tried it on a short run.  71 days to HM!!
