One Step at a Time...
February 8
February 7
Up at 3:30am, layered up and out the door at 10 degrees. Was able to run in the middle of the roadway for most of the run, as the sidewalks were nothing but a twisted ankle and broken leg with all of the snow and ice on them. A few idiot cars refused to move over a little bit, even though there was only me and them and GOD out there. Got home and my middle layer was wet and had iced up a bit. My face was the only thing to get even slightly cold. I wore my biking pants, which are a bit thicker and warmer, which worked out very well. Oh, my tongue did get a little cold. Stupid winter!
On tready at work, AFTER work.
Whew.
17:40 Second 10 miler ran. I'm kinda tired.
February 6
On tready at work. Several inches of snow and ice outside.
Tomorrow I have a 20 mile run....and here's my problem.....piles of snow and ice are everywhere.
Sooooooooooooooo, here is tomorrow's plan. Instead of coming home from work at 3 and doing 20 miles through snow and ice covered sidewalks and roads, I'll get up at 3:30am, go do 10 miles, which I should be able to pull off right down the middle of the road on a SUnday morning. THEN, after work I'll come home and do 10 again. How does that sound?

Watched some videos on swimming today, and 3 "experts" each showed 3 different ways of forearm placement during the pull/push. Very confusing. Called Mimi for clarification, and I think I've got it now. Geez! I'm only doing it slightly different, but apparently engaging some different muscles, because I was getting tired faster.
February 4
Gave a spin class to Amy and Marc after work AT work. I did about 20 minutes waiting for them, then gave each about 25 minutes.
Ok...I finally broke down and ordered some new running shorts. My Pearl Izumi's were getting loose (compression) and beginning to have a smell that would NOT go away, even after being washed. YIKES! 2XU's, I hope you work well.

The day is flying by! Workouts done. Made a quick Starbucks run with Mary, then home to get Finn, WHO DID NOT PEE on my floor today! YA HO! Progress. Also, I have taught him a new trick from our doggie class at Petsmart last night! He is so motivated to learn with food is involved! Well, aren't we all? Gotta get Conor, then over to Pop pops with his late Christmas gift that just came in the mail.
