  1. RUN
    great First "Spring" Training Long Run 4.96 mi 00:54 10:51 pace

    Loved this run! It was pretty cold but the sun was out and the path was surprisingly not too icey. A couple of new additions to our group including Erin who also went to TCU! Hoping to stay inju... read more

  2. RUN
    good Unplanned Glen Ellyn Run 3 mi 00:30 09:58 pace

    I didn't plan to run tonight but Dave had a last minute work dinner so I really had no reason to get home. As soon as I started running I was STARVING (didn't eat a late afternoon snack like I nor... read more

  3. RUN
    great Glen Ellyn Prairie Path 5 mi 00:48 09:39 pace

    The predicted slushy mix stayed away so I took the opportunity to get in a run. Was only going to do 3 but since I could run farther on the path than in previous weeks (no more ice/snow/mud/etc) i... read more

  4. RUN
    good Glen Ellyn path 3.37 mi 00:33 09:51 pace

    Finally made it out to enjoy the warmer temps we have had this week. Really had to talk myself into this one but once I got out there, I was glad I did. Thats really always how it works!

    good Lakefront with Dave! 3.66 mi 00:35 09:41 pace

    Took a break from studying to go on a nice run with Dave. He is going to train for Door County this year so its time for him to get his legs back too!

  6. RUN
    good Glen Ellyn after work 3.21 mi 00:31 09:39 pace

    Put in a few miles after work. The part of the prairie path that isn't paved was just a sheet of ice so I had to go back and forth on my little .8mile stretch a few times.

  7. RUN
    good 5.7 mi 01:04 11:13 pace

    Pretty fun run, even if the ankles hurt and the legs felt like bricks. Pretty snowy path but it was great to get out there with my group for the last run of winter warriors!

    alright Afterwork at Gym 00:45

    Got in some time on the elliptical. Battling a bit of a cold this week. I just really hate my gym afterwork, way too crowded, but its a good way to wait out the traffic for my evening commute.

  9. RUN
    great Winter Warriors! 5.39 mi 00:57 10:37 pace

    Thankfully it was only 16 and not 8 this morning, helped my motivation with getting out of bed! My group was running 12 but since I'm still easing back my mileage, I stopped at our aid station and... read more

      Yeah, good run! Once we got done with the icy bits and onto clearer paths north of Fullerton, the ice wasn't as big a problem.

  10. RUN
    great Glen Ellyn Loop 4 mi 00:39 09:37 pace

    This run was awesome! Wanted to get it in before the first really snow tomorrow. Another negative split and I'm not sure I've ever run sub-10 min miles for longer than just a couple of miles.

      Awesome splits! Nice job getting a run in while the weather is still good. Although, I'm looking forward to a snowy run this weekend.

    Enjoyed the mild weather and managed an unplanned negative split

    Mile 1: 10:15
    Mile 2: 9:47
    Mile 3: 9:15

    Then watched the boring "national championship" with a lovely dinner prepared by... read more

    Great run with my group this morning. I can't believe this weather. Surely we get 2 feet of snow in late April. Lots of CARA runners on the path as well. Next week my group is doing 12, I may c... read more

  13. RUN
    good Quick run in Glen Ellyn 4 mi 00:41 10:11 pace

    I wanted to take advantage of the not too cold night and avoid the super crowded gym. Enough of the prairie path has some lights near the metra station, so I was able to get in 4 miles with two la... read more

    good PACKED gym 01:00

    Lots of January Joiners at my gym. Spent 30 mins on the arc trainer since it was one of the few machines open then 30 mins in a kickboxing class. I will have to try to go back to this class, grea... read more

    alright 1/2 mile repeats in PA 3.02 mi 00:32 10:36 pace

    Wish I would have packed the inhaler. Good to get in some holiday miles.

  16. RUN
    great CES Holiday Scavenger Hunt 3.32 mi 00:38 11:25 pace

    Lots of fun running around in the newly fallen snow in my Mrs. Claus apron. Probably ran more like 5 miles but i kept forgetting to start my garmin.

    Just what I needed after a long week (and now ... read more

    This was a cold one but it went mostly good. Didn't find my inhaler in the morning so I dealt with some asthma. But this was my longest run since June (pre-stress fracture) so thats something!

  18. VELO
    alright Spinning Class 01:00

    Stopped at the gym on my way home and a spinning class was about to start so I joined. Pretty good. I always feel awkward on the bike. The teacher constantly asked us how we were doing rather th... read more

    good Winter Warriors in the Rain 6.89 mi 01:13 10:33 pace

    Rainy morning. The first few miles were a struggle because I was overdressed and feeling my lack of running. But once I started concentrating on the turnaround point rather than the full 7 miles,... read more
