Ok-I wanted to see if my training was doing any good since I am clueless and just learning as I go.  Did the Critter Crawl @ a zoo-perfect for a squirrel.  I wanted at least 27 minutes-that would shave off a minute since the January 5K.  I was very please with 26:23.  4th in the 45-49 female division.  I'm sure this was not a race that serious runners come to but it was good for my confidence.  The running in the cold temps, horrible wind and long hills paid off.  Overheard several peeps talking about how hard the run was because of those elements but for me it was a beautiful day and their hills were like speed bumps!  So do ladies wear makeup to race?  The ladies there were beautiful!  I had on nooooo makeup!

I found i was much slower without my husband setting the pace.  He has shin splints in one leg so didn't run with me today :(  But I had a nice run for my second time of running 10 miles.

Did 4 at lunch and 2 on the treadmill-got some orthopedic supports and was told to ease into using them so wearing my tennies at work (what a great excuse!) and then ran the 2 miles on treadmill in them.  Feels good

Rain predicted all day but what do you know?  On my lunch it is not raining so I decide to try it-I'm fighting a cold so I told my co-worker if I got wet I would just go home sick-LOL!  I only got misted on and got my whole 6 in.  I did however look terrible the rest of the day from the hairspray mist mix on my hair-but it was worth it!!!  Just did 10 minute miles.

Ran 3 with my husband and then he dropped me off 8 miles from home. The wind is 23 mph so even though the temp says 40 the wind goes thru you-really had to work hard when it was pushing me sideways but several miles it was to my back :)  good run!

Did 6 at lunch and then1 1/2 after work with the Jh track kids.  Was very slow since i was bringing up the rear and had a couple girls that thought they were going to die.  It was fun to encourage them.
