Monday, the thermometer read -14. That’s not with the wind chill!!
I draw the line under 10 degrees! So Tuesday morning I went to the gym and ran 3.5 miles on the treadmill. I watched a new show on my iPod Touch called “Off the Map” – jungle version of Grey’s Anatomy.
Today, the weather was almost balmy – 32 degrees! So I brought (winter) running clothes to work.
I had signed up for a workshop at FleetFeet on “Common Overuse Injuries to Runners: Plantar Fasciitis & Achilles Tendonitis” but although, I have foot issues (not these per se), I decided to run instead.
For once, the snowstorm hit south of us and there was no wind. At onr point, I was too warm to wear my hat & gloves! One thing I forgot is that in Albany, they don’t shovel the sidewalks and when you run in the road, the cars practically run you down.
Anyway, I ran a treacherous 4 miles and after went to have my nails done and they give you a free hot pad for your back and a free back massage!!
Before heading home, I stopped at Olympia Sports & bought 2 pairs of Adidas running shorts & 2 matching tops (that I don’t need) because they were on sale.
black w/green & pink trim and black w/white & lt blue trim
pink w/white trim and white w/ lt. blue trim
A very productive evening!
Happy Running!
My First 5K and More... 
You are seriously dedicated. I couldn’t see myself running in the snow! It has been in the mid 70s here. That means we are in for one hot summer!!

No choice – there seems to always be snow here this winter. I don’t enjoy the treadmill!! Where do you live? I want to move there! I love the HEAT 🙂

Well done on the run!
Who cares that you don’t need the tops: they match your outfit and it’s always fun to buy new running clothes.

I bought the short AND the tops – The good news is that I didn’t buy running shoes (They were on sale too!)

Sounds like a great idea for a race theme – you get the hotpad and your nails done after crossing the finish line!
Good for you for getting out there!
