Snooooooooow! :-) Like running in a snowglobe, all fat and fluffy flakes. I dashed out the door when I saw it starting, since they're saying maybe 3-4", and I'd rather run in fluffy falling fl... read more

Easy, relaxed run on a mild day. A little windy going out, but not too bad, and the sun was nice. This has been such a pleasant winter, especially for Wisconsin!

Easy treadmill run after the swim. So boring, but I can't figure out a more convenient way to deal with swim/short run days. Everything felt good, though!

Wasn't sure, going in, whether I'd be up for a long run this morning; my throat was feeling pretty wretched last night, and I felt drained. Decided if I was anything higher than a 4 on a 1-10 scale... read more

Easy recovery run on the bike path. Still temperate weather today, but not nearly as nice - more damp feeling, cloudy, grey. Still, nice to run without gloves and fear of ice!

I did! "Beedley-beep!" "Shut up!" "Beedley-beep!" "SHUT UP!" I'm sure I looked very mentally stable to everybody around me.

I do the same thing with my Garmin when I completely biff the pace setting. I give it dirty looks. It continues to persevere, which reminds me to do the same in longer workouts. :)

good 3 mi 00:26 08:41 pace
Scheduled to be an easy run, and I started out that way, but my headphones weren't staying put well, and after I ditched them, I started getting REALLY BORED on the treadmill, which led to bumping ... read more

Little bit longer today. I really started to feel tired by the end. Getting my endurance back, little by little, though. :-) Can't wait to be able to crawl again someday.

Great run out there, Carrie! I definitely feel the difference when wearing Yak Trax--they make me so slow! Excellent mileage in rough conditions.
