I Can Do Hard Things

The icy snow has come and my days on the road will become limited.  So off to the gym this morning. 

3 miles on the treadmill - 27.30.  I felt really good.

I ran on my dear friend "Tread Mill" today for 5 miles.  The best part about it was coming home and taking an hour long nap (my kids slept in until 8am).  Sweetness!  

5 miles - 46minutes

Went to the gym this morning and watch rerun after rerun of Tiger Woods bad choices.  Maybe I just need to pick a new treadmill in front of a different TV!

4 miles - 37:10

Ran on the treadmill at the gym. The best I've felt in 2 weeks - kept picking up speed the entire run.  

I watched the most hilarious episode of "My Name is Earl" - I usually don't watch that show, but it had Napoleon Dynamite on it.  They were grocery baggers and went to a bagging competition.  Definitely made the time go by fast!

How do I kick my really gross habit of a Cherry Coke and Granny B's cookie everyday?   I love them so, but the calorie intake is ......out of control......

6 miles - 55.58 minutes

1 degree outside -- oooooo.....that is cold!

I want to start doing some speed work next week and I'm thinking I will be on the tread mill.  I've never done speed on the Milly, so with that being said, here's my dumb question:  do you hop off the TM after each 400/800/etc or do you just slow down the speed?

 I'm braving the chilliness tomorrow and heading outside for a long run.  I hope I don't get hypothermia

Holy smokes - it was such a beautiful run this morning!  We had about 3-4 inches of fresh powder and the temperature was much warmer (20 degrees).  I don't understand why people want to drive SO close to the edge of the road.  I totally got splashed with yucky, dirty snow.  But it was well worth it once I hit the trail. 

I definitely ran slow - I felt like I was dragging snow the whole way.  I am sore this evening - it was so much harder than a regular treadmill or no snow day.  I will sleep well tonight!
