Snowy short one

Was supposed to go long today...I was not mentally up to it, I admit it. There are 7 inches of frozen snow on the ground, our whole town's sidewalks are not shoveled, and it is windy (gusts up to 28 today). I went around my block six times to get these three miles in, the neighbors must have thought I was bonkers, I know *I* did:-P

So here's what I mustered. I figure, I had my 10 mile triumph last weekend, this can be my cut back week and I'll keep building the mileage of my long run next weekend The HM is exactly six weeks from today:D

3 miles
34:39 (11:33/mile)

Just realized I've already run 100 miles this year (102.77, actually!). I am a little ahead schedule for my goal of running 400 miles this year, that's cool! Hope I keep it up!

PS--By the time I'm posting this, Javamom will have completed her first HM! Go send her a cyber high five!

Getting back in the groove

7 miles
1:29:38 (12:48/mile)

Didn't start till nearly 5:00, so by the time I was in a groove, it got dark. That, paired with the crummy job so many people did shoveling their sidewalks (I thought people were supposed to get FINED for not shoveling sidewalks, we're talking major roads here), I had to call it a day at 7 miles, woo hoo. Galloway wanted me to do 10, but since I've been coming back from sickness, business and slacking, the legs were getting a little tired--though not as much as my last long run, so maybe my previous long runs are starting to build and be beneficial, even though they were weeks ago??.

Feeling good. Good run today, good week getting back in the groove.

Beat the snow

Did a midweek run, woo hoo.

2.30 miles
27:01 (11:44/mile)

Mostly ok run. Not easy, but it never is, I guess. I was just very proud of myself for taking advantage of some unexpected babysitting after a short meeting at school to get the heck out there before the winter storm hits the Northeast. Felt good to get out again, and to make this a habit again. Hope the roads are clear Thursday:-)
