Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
I foolishly listened to my mom and husband yesterday when they poop poohed my plan to run because it was too cold (0). I ran today despite their continued protests and was just fine. It was still 0. And I ran pretty slow, but it still was a good run. Not all sidewalks were shoveled, but most were.
I took a suggestion from Burt and ran twice today. The first was 5 miles, and the second was 3. We got some snow yesterday and our roads and sidewalks are always pretty messy, so I treadmilled. And hated every minute of it. I ran slow throughout, with some bursts of 8:30 pace throughout.
