TM.  Was going to run outside, but it's too cold (-10 w/windchill).  Ran inside with wool socks, not recommended!!  Felt good, could have gone longer. 9:15P.

Also did 1hr hot yoga.

Welcome to the blog!!

Enjoy your preparation for Ogden. It will be a fun journey and I'm pretty sure you won't regret it. :)

Wednesday run if it is not below 0 again.

Welcome to the blog! Best of luck to you getting ready for Ogden, it is such a beautiful course.

There is no way to run outside in this cold without the wool socks! I have been borrowing my husbands, but, I have only ventured out a few times. The treadmill will have to do for now!

Welcome to the blog. Are you another one of Shadley's friends?

Thank you for the warm welcome folks!!! I figured this was a great way to stay motivated as I begin the LONG journey of training for Ogden. I never thought I'd want to run a marathon, thinking half's were satisfying enough... But Jeff Fogg and Jeff Shadley (yes Burt, Shadley is a great friend) kept "suggesting"... and I finally caved! So here I am... It will be a great accomplishment... But man that's a lot of miles to prepare!!! :)

Welcome to the FRB! Looking forward to seeing you complete Ogden! Jeff and I will be here to keep you on track and motivated.

Question for you guys.. Should I try and convert my spinning miles to running miles, or just keep it separate?? I went to spinning class this morning and did 25M.??

Thanks Shadley!!!

From Kelli on Tue, Jan 04, 2011 at 14:08:33 from 71.219.84.215

I like to keep my miles separate, others convert theirs. Do whatever you want!!! You can add cross training miles to the top of your blog and track it that way, but it does count those miles in your overall miles (which is why I keep mine out--I want to know what I RAN).

You will do great in Ogden!

From Wesley Hunt on Tue, Jan 04, 2011 at 15:48:54 from 198.8.4.25

I agree with Kelli and prefer to track my running miles separately. However, I would certainly blog/record any cross, strength or resistance training workouts that you complete along the way. I actually need to do a better job of this myself...
