Just 4 Fun -- Slow and Steady Wins the Race

AM -- went to the Gym with Jill this morning.  Worked out on the Eliptical for 12 minutes (1+ miles) then ran two miles on the tread mill.  I was late getting there so I wasn't able to work out as much as I would have liked.

AM -- Ran on my own this morning.  Artic Circle loop + 1 mile near home.  Felt good to be out running.  it w as colder this morning than it has been for most of the winter, and there was a slight breeze that both took my breath away and numbed up my face.  Still, wouldn't have traded the experience.  My feet have been doing better.  Stretching and reduced miles seems to have helped.  time was 34 +.  Avg pace was 8.42 per mile.

AM -- Burr . . . coldest morning yet.  The power was out for several hours last night and the house was cold when I got out of bed.  Took me a mile to get my hands and face warm.  Ran the Artic Circle loop and then one mile loop around home.  I am not getting enough sleep at night . . . so my legs are a little tired and I find myself drowsy during the mid afternoon.  Still loving the exercise and the running.  

PM -- Ran with Sierra this evening.  She looked at all the blogs of those who raced today.  It was fun to see how every one did.  We had originally set a goal to run in the 1/2 marathon.  My body did not cooperate with the training so we will set that particular goal (1/2) off for another day.  We ran up to Artic Circle, down past the hospital and ended up by the Post office for 4 miles.  Mom picked us up.  We are lucky to have someone willing to provide a shuttle service.  The weather was really nice, not that cold.  Thirty-nine minute work-out in all.
