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.

Zero miles today; however, I did do Nick's 6AM spinning class.  Worked out hard, 25M..  Taking the advice of others and I won't convert this to running miles...

Made it to the gym a little after 5am.  Hopped on a TM right next to Mr. Shadley.  He's impressive... 

Although I'm glad my run is over today, it's still hard to get my legs moving this early...  Overall not bad, but very very slow today. 10:00 pace..

I was finally able to run outside!!! So much better. Thanks Jeff Fogg for the work on my old shoes.  No slipping at all on the ice and snow...  I left work early and went for a run at 2:30 this afternoon.  Great tunes on my ipod, weather not too bad (25 I think) and sun shining on my face..  My average pace was 9:40...  That works for me...  Have a great weekend everyone... :)

No running for me, but I did go to Hot Yoga.  My friend, Kris Berger, teaches at Namaste Yoga and does a 1.5HR long class on Sunday.  The room reached 105 and it was a great workout.  I'm sore now...

Burr....my behind is still frozen.  But (LOL) Jeff Fogg and I braved the cold (11 degrees at lunch time).  It actually wasn't bad at all.  No wind and snow falling.  I felt strong today, but not sure of my pace.  The Garmin was dead.  Oops.

Made it outside for a quick run. My daughter was sick today so luckily my sweet mother came over so I could run.  3M, 8:47P!  .20M 10:00P.  Great day for an afternoon run.  Everything is melting and it's gloomy, but still better than the TM!

3M on TM at work. I don't know how Jeff does it.... I can't stand starring at a blank wall.... But I got it done..  Had to hurry across town to pick up my daughter at daycare.  Have a great night...

Nice sunny day for a run outside.  Not sure what my pace was as my Garmin died on me, but I was at 9:40 at mile 3.  But I did have my son drive out 3M so I would be sure to know where to turn around to get 6 (goal for today) in for today.  Sunnyside path clear until I reached Ammon/Hitt.  A mess after that from the snow fall last night, oh well... Temp 35. My feet were soaked by the time I made it home.. I reached my mileage goal this week. Week one of 18 week training plan under my belt. So far, so good....  I'm a little discouraged on my weight gain since I started faithfully running 3 weeks ago (3lbs), but Jeff Fogg is telling me not to worry.... (dang holidays)  I will admit that my clothes (especially my jeans) are fitting better...  I never EVER weigh myself, but figured I'd start my training knowing my lbs.  Now I only weigh once a week, but I think I won't for another couple of weeks...  I've been eating right too, so it's just frustrating...  I'd like to be around 120-125 so 132 is not that far off I guess (129 was closer).  Can't believe I just threw my weight out there..  WHO CARES.. LOL

NOTE: This is really for Sat, Jan 22nd.  0M on Friday.

Let me start with YUCK...  I am not a morning runner!  3M about killed me on the TM this morning.  I'd prefer 6M outside around the greenbelt (tomorrow) than 3M on the TM...  Oh well, it's over and I somehow managed to get out of bed this morning...

Average pace - 9:47.
