Total Distance

8.00

Woke up at 4:45 looked outside. The roads were clear, no sign of snow yet. Dressed and got all my warm clothes on, headlamp,garmin etc. Got outside and the snow had just started falling. Ran a 7:20 mile to warm up, then a 7:02, and SLAM! I hit black ice and slammed my knee and pinky. Got up and turned around and went another way. By that time snow was accumulating my road, and by the minute I was ice skating more and more. I got over it. 3 miles outside. Went home changed into shorts, tank. Got some warm stuff on and went to the gym.

Had no time to mess around and felt determined as ever. 5 mile tempo straight through. 6:39 6:39 6:35 6:30 6:25. I DID IT!!!! I held a 5 mile. Woooohoooooooooo!

Have to think of a new tempo goal for next week.

25 minutes elliptical hell

Strength trained with the meat heads. Some dudes and their sounds! yuck! Why the sound effects?

haha too funny about the meat heads! Awesome tempo workout Lily! You are training so consistently lately and 2013 is going to be your year. :)

Awesome, Lily!!! Sorry you fell, though. Geez, it started snowing up here last night around 11 pm. When I got up this morning, there we four more inches of fresh snow. Ugh!!!!

Scott has lots of sound effects, although they have little to do with exerting a lot of effort. Sorry about the roads. It's really messy out there. You made the right decision.

Very nice Ms. Lily! You should have a big smile for your efforts! Solid workout, looks like you are making a comeback. The darn elliptical training has paid off, it seems.

ha ha Jun! It was crazy outside this morning. At least at my house. I couldn't tell where the ice was.

Thank you Dale!I am super sick of winter :/

Tara the elliptical has always been a training secret :)

I need to start on the elliptical too it sounds like:) I will call it elliptical hell too.

From Lily on Tue, Jan 29, 2013 at 18:54:24 from 67.199.178.95

haha Ellitpical hell it really is. Love/hate relationship with it. But I swear by it. I can't put my finger on it exactly...
