Last Week:
- Monday – Had the day off from work so it would have been nice to go for a run but it was so windy and COLD!! Instead, I went to the dentist, did some errands and played tennis in the evening.
- Tuesday – Took my morning walk around work. I intended to run outside but the wind turned me into a wuss. I ran 4 miles on the treadmill instead and then met my BFF for a movie (Carol).
2 episodes of Modern Family
- Wednesday – A short run after work before yoga. Cold but not as windy as Monday & Tuesday.

- Thursday – Another after work run. It was cold and windier than Wednesday but I just couldn’t face the treadmill.
Friday – Rest day and an evening of mah jongg.- Saturday – The dreaded 12 mile long run. Today was the day! And the snowstorm hit south and missed us. YAY!!! I like to pick a new location for each of my runs so I chose Colonie Town Park. Judy was again nice enough to keep me company on my last 6 miles. And it was freezing but we survived.
Challenge Yourself Virtual 10K race

My First 5K and More... 
Oh I loathe running in winter when it’s so cold! The first few miles are always so tough to get warmed up. That’s so nice that you had a friend to keep you company too! I’m still on no running orders…hopefully in a few weeks, I’ll be back! 🙂

Today I have to get my run in in the morning; how I wish I could go in the afternoon when it will be so much warmer!
Beginning to plan out my training . . .

I didn’t know you had a treadmill! You are a trooper because the only pictures I see of you are outside.

I don’t own a treadmill. There’s one at the law school where I work – backstage. I hate to use it.

Ha I’m like Wendy, you run a lot outside which I do too but that is because I don’t own one. Great job on getting them in and I’m know you’re glad the snow missed yall. Have a good week Darlene!

You bet. Snow can really mess up training plans.

that’s a great idea breaking up your 12-miler into two 6-milers. I did a virtual half marathon a few years ago, and my husband ran the first 6 miles with me, and a friend met me and ran the remaining seven miles. What a breeze it was! The games we have to (sometimes) play with our minds to get it done 😉

Definitely. It’s tough mentally to run 12 miles by yourself.

You had a strong week, in spite of the cold weather. Just think, in a few days you will be in beautiful, sunny, warm Sarasota Florida and ready to rock your seventeenth half marathon. I must admit I’m a wee bit jealous. I bet you do great at this race! Thanks for linking with us Darlene!
