I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

This was a treadmill run that was not totally unbearable.

Garmin still MIA. Run felt fastish, but it's really hard to say whether it was or not, since I didn't really pay too much attention to my start time.

Run was almost postponed because I ran at school, and I forgot to pack a sports bra.  Turns out I don't really need one.  Wah wah.
 

Not a great running week last week. Just didn't finish out with a run on Saturday because the day was chock full. Ran today instead. A good run. It was cold with a dusting of snow. Run was a nice, easy pace. My easy pace has dropped a little, which is nice.

I did not have to hold a memorial service for my garmin. It showed up. I left it at my mom's and she brought it down when she visited this weekend. I thought it might be there, but just hadn't gotten around to asking her about it.

An easy 3 treadmill miles in the a.m. Glad I got the run out of the way, since the evening will be too busy.

Treadmill! Yay!

Now I can't find my Kinvaras. And I'm too afraid to start using the Virratas when there's snow on the ground. Not sure why. Anyway, wore some old shoes. It was not as cold, and I'm glad I didn't let myself wimp out because we're getting hit with some snow that might make it difficult to be outside tomorrow. It depends on how quickly they plow. They didn't really plow well after our last snow, and the sides of the road today were already crusted with ice/snow.

Got hit by a snow storm. Not more than about 6 inches. The day was busy, so I didn't get outside, which was fine by me. Wore my new shoes on the treadmill. Not sure whether I have to break these in slowly, but I guess I'll figure it out by the way my calves feel tomorrow. The shoes felt great on the run at any rate. I think I will dig them.

Finals week. Hope I get to run enough this week. Snow covered streets and sidewalks. Hope we get some warmer temps. It might be above freezing by the end of the week.

There was a little melting today, but I didn't get a chance to run early enough, so it was treadmill all the way. Did a ladder to pass the time. Never got up too fast, but had a respectable avg. pace.

Miles in the snow.

It was raining and a little slick, but I was glad the rain and warm temps melted the snow that made for slow going on Thursday. I was dressed a little too warmly, but my jacket kept me pretty dry.

I saw crazy Q (this old running lady that I've been acquainted with for a long time) running backward. She must be rehabbing something. Last time I talked to her (it's been a few years) it was her knee. I don think she can beat me in a race now, but until the knee injury she could and did. I think she's 65 or so now.

Five treadmill miles progressively faster. Increased the speed every two songs that played on my iPad.

One important update. I'm being treated for asthma. That is what the pulmonologist thinks this cough is. So I've got a couple inhalers. One is for morning and night. The other is for right before exercise (and rescue). It's too early to say whether it is making a difference since I've only been on it since Thursday. I'm just hoping that my cough goes away.

2 relatively quick treadmill miles so I could log something on this busy day.

Three treadmill miles before leaving for Chicago and Christmas fun!

Slow miles in the snow. There wasn't too much of it, just enough to slow me down a bit, which was a-okay with me. Added the .66 to take me to an even number of miles for the year.

4 easy miles. A little slowerr than yesterday's average, but only by a couple seconds.

7 miles in just under an hour. Pace got progressively faster. It was gorgeous out. I was overdressed because I didn't pack shorts. However, I did have a short sleeved shirt that made an appearance after mile 3 when I took off my sweatshirt.

A treadmill run.

There. 1000 miles. Meh.
