Ran 5 w/ Marsha in the pre dawn with the ol' headlamp and 2 more at lunch.  It's so foggy and moist today. It always reminds me of Oregon or winters in San Diego.  I love how the water condenses on my arm hair. I haven't needed gloves for a week even though the temps are still in the mid 30's.  I'm home at lunch getting my treadmill fixed once and for all--rollers and belt replaced.   Hopefully this should keep the treadmill going for another 5 years before the motor goes.  It has over 6,000 miles on it now.  They did a temporary fix while the parts took 6 weeks to arrive.  So for the past 6 weeks, I've had to set the incline to 3 or above just to get it to roll.  But it would still grab, or stop (mostly while I was doing speed intervals). so I'd go flying over the top. It was freaky to try and run hard & fast, but not know when the machine would quit on me..... (cue the soap opera soundtrack)....I needed that treadmill so much over the past 2 months and it betrayed me.  I had to run on the stupid BYU track--around and around and around-- when it was too dark and cold!  It let me down.  Can I learn to forgive and love my treadmill again?  Can I heal this sence of betrayal?  Can I learn to forgive?  They say time heals all things.....

Such drama and trauma w/ the TM's betrayal! You're so good to try to salvage the relationship, to forgive, and to give it another chance to earn your love again! ;)

I do not like this foggy misty day. I will not survive in Oregon. I desperately need sunshine and blue sky. I don't mind snow especially fresh fallen snow. I guess I have no arm hair to appreciate the condensation. :)

Who knew my love for the treadmill would run so deep. If only people were as forgiveable as machines....How many miles will you be going on Sat again? I need to bring my run schedule to see if we can match up a few of more of our long runs. I have 18 March 6, 17 March 27, 22 April 3rd. (I have a 20 miler on March 20 but will be running Moab so will tack on the extra 7 there). If this is at all close to your miles any one of those dates, let's plan when/where to do them (on Saturday). I'm excited to see you guys!

My schedule calls for 16 on Sat. but I am flexible since this week is recovery.

Feb 27 ~ 22 mi

Mar 6 ~ Lake to Lake Relay in SG.

Mar 13 ~ 18 mi. But may do it on Fri instead b/c of a baptism I want to attend.

Mar 20 ~ 17 mi. Wish I was doing the Moab Half. Lucky you!

Mar 27 ~ 20 mi. but I might do the Riverton Half and tack on 7.

April 3 ~ 17 mi. If I didn't tack on the 7 from previous week; then I will do 20 this day instead of 17.

Let's still plan on doing some of these runs together.
