Single digits!

With the temperature expected to be in the single digits tomorrow, I'm wondering if anyone would like to run at 11 or so tomorrow or maybe on Sunday.

Post your reply in the comments section or email me.

How cold is it?

The one thing I hate about running first thing in the morning is that it's the coldest part of the day. At least I'm experienced in the fine art of layering and making sure I have pockets to cram my gloves, hat, scarf, tissue and whatever else I may have on me that day.

Do we have that 2-mile time trial this week? Oh dear.

6.2 suggested you carry links or rocks or something so you can keep track of your laps during the trial. I think that's a great idea. Have 8 pebbles and toss one aside for every lap you do.

You may not recognize me under all the bundles, but I'll see you on the road.

Pam did it!

Our girl Pam finished the Disney marathon today. We're so proud of you and how far you've come in so short a time.

Now that I feel like a classic underachiever, I guess new goals are in order. *sigh* I'm sure I'll figure something out....Maybe more miles at the MS bike tour or faster race times or something. I'm open to suggestions.

I hate colds

This has been a rough week. The New Year's Day race was fast and a bit difficult due to certain "circumstances"--it all goes back to the FIRST thing I learned about running. See me and I'll explain it.

Then I got a cold. Thanks to Amber and Mimi for slowing down for me Saturday. I totally missed Tuesday and could only plod along for two miles this morning. Fortunately, Nancy is coming back from injury and was plodding along right beside me.

10-miler training with captains returns this week. Trish and MA will have Group 4 and I've got Group 3. I've picked out a lovely 8-mile route that will be challenging but a good learning experience. Go ahead and curse my name now.

Stay warm, get lots of fluids and rest up.

See you Saturday.
